‘Carer Connect’ launched by Grace Cares and Ontex
‘Carer Connect’, a new initiative dedicated to understanding and supporting the millions of unpaid carers across the UK, has been launched by Grace Carers and Ontex.
In its first stage this initiative is conducting a consultation, with the findings from that due to be compiled into a white paper of recommendations entitled ‘Caring by Love, not by Pay: Stories and solutions from unpaid carers’. This white paper will then influence Carer Connect’s first support offer in late 2025.
Hannah Montgomery, Co-Founder of Grace Cares, says:
“Carer Connect is about more than resources – it’s about building a movement. We want unpaid carers to feel seen, valued, and supported, not left to carry the weight in silence.”
If you’re an unpaid carer, are an organisation who already offers support or signposting to help unpaid carers, or if you’d like to support the Carer Connect initiative, please email: hello@grace-cares.com or call 01543 730189.
