Brent Carers Centre
Our vision is: “To ensure that unpaid carers are recognised, valued and supported to live rather than just exist.”
ABOUT US: 

Brent Carers’ Centre is an independent Charity and Company Limited by Guarantee.

 

We currently have over 7,000 carers registered with us, with the numbers growing every quarter.

It is estimated that in the borough of Brent there are over 31,000 carers.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 
  • There are around 7 million Carers in the UK – that is 1 in 10 people and rising
  • 3 in 5 people will be Carers at some point in their lives in the UK
  • Out of the UK’s Carers, approx. 42% of Carers are men and 58% are women
  • The economic value of the contribution made by Carers in the UK is £132bn a year, almost equivalent to the cost of the entire NHS in the UK
  • By 2030, the number of Carers will increase by 3.4 million (around 60%). 
  • A healthy supported network of Carers will be a great help to our struggling NHS, Emergency & Support Services.

    Raising awareness and encouraging a healthy sense of responsibility by promoting Volunteering will help to promote a sense of social responsibility, which is the backbone of any healthy nation.
