Informed Professionals, Empowered Care
Join our transformative Carers Champion programme via Carers Hub.
The Carers Centre is committed to collaborating with professionals like you, providing valuable insights, and fostering a community dedicated to enhancing the overall caregiving experience.

Who is a carer?
A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health condition or an addiction cannot cope without their support. Some people start their caring role from as young as five years old.
Although it’s difficult to know the exact number of unpaid carers in Brighton & Hove, the latest census estimate is around 21,000. In other words, in your professional life, you’re going to meet carers, perhaps ones who are ‘hidden’, so not getting the help they need.
Carers are eligible for a wide range of support, including ours.
Education Sector
Uncover insights and guidance to recognise and support students who may be carrying the responsibilities of caregiving. At the Carers Centre, we’re here to empower educators to create a compassionate and inclusive learning environment for all students.
Healthcare Sector
Healthcare professionals witness the impact of caregiving on both patients and their families. Explore our Healthcare Sector resources to gain insights into the challenges faced by carers and find valuable support to enhance the care you provide.
We’re here to help…
Make a referral
With the carer’s consent, it’s straightforward to make a referral to the Carers Centre, opening up a wealth of dedicated support and advice.
Just so you know, the carer doesn’t have to have a professional’s referral to get in touch with The Carers Centre. If they prefer, they can refer themselves to us.
