About Carers in Hertfordshire
We are a leading charity that supports unpaid carers throughout Hertfordshire.
We are partly funded by Hertfordshire County Council and the NHS in Hertfordshire. In partnership with them and other local organisations we provide services to carers to help them with their caring role, improve their health and wellbeing, give them a break from caring and have a voice in shaping services for them.
We support carers of all ages, including children, and our services are free of charge.

Our support for parents and carers.
We have Involvement and Development Workers supporting carers of someone with a mental health condition or who misuses drugs or alcohol, who can provide information relevant to your caring role and can help you to speak up to those providing or planning local services.
We also:
- Give you a chance to meet and talk to other parents, carers and staff who understand;
- Give you the opportunity to represent your views to the authorities that commission and manage CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) in Hertfordshire;
- Provide training and learning opportunities;
- Offer a Carers’ Passport Discount Card that gives savings in shops, restaurants and other venues (contact us to apply for one today!)
