About Us: Who we are

Join our transformative Carers Champion programme via Carers Hub.

We are a committed local team of staff and volunteers, all working towards a single vision: an improved quality of life for carers in Brighton & Hove.

Established in 1988, our mission is to make a positive difference to the lives of the thousands of unpaid family/friend carers in Brighton & Hove by encouraging a wider recognition of their caring role; enabling them to fulfil their own needs as individuals and offering them appropriate support.

Our team of dedicated professionals and volunteers provide a range of services tailored to meet carers’ diverse needs. From respite and emotional support to guidance on navigating complex healthcare systems, our goal is to ease the impact of caring on each person’s social, emotional, and educational well-being.

Our Patron

Professor Saul Becker

Carers Trust Ambassador

“I support the work of The Carers Centre because it provides a platform for the voices of carers to be heard, and a service to meet their needs. It is a symbol of what is best in our society – caring for the carers.”

Our Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees are a diverse and skilled group of volunteers who are responsible for the effective delivery or our services.
