Don’t wait for a crisis ⏳

If caring is getting harder, don’t wait for a crisis. Reaching out early can open up emotional support, respite options and help with planning ahead 🤝

Support is there – and it’s okay to ask.

Vote for Birmingham Carers Hub ❤️🏆

We’re incredibly proud that Forward Carers – Birmingham Carers Hub, has been named a Finalist for Social Enterprise of the Year at the Birmingham Awards 2026.

For more than a decade, Birmingham Carers Hub has supported unpaid Carers across the city with information, advice, Carer Assessments and practical and wellbeing support.

This recognition is a celebration of the difference it makes every day and, above all, of Birmingham’s unpaid Carers and the extraordinary contribution they make to our community.

Public voting for the award is open and we'd hugely appreciate your support.

Whatever the result on the night, being shortlisted for Social Enterprise of the Year is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Birmingham Carers Hub, the organisations behind it and, above all, Birmingham’s unpaid Carers.

Know what to do in an emergency 📝 What would happen if you suddenly couldn’t care?

A simple What If Plan gives peace of mind and helps protect the person you care for in an emergency 💛 Planning ahead reduces anxiety – and you don’t have to do it alone.

Looking after yourself isn’t selfish. It’s essential.

Carers often put themselves last – but your health matters just as much.

Stress, poor sleep or burnout aren’t things you have to “just cope with”. Speak to your local Carers Service and get support 🩺

Tell your GP you’re a Carer 💬

Caring for someone? Even a few hours a week counts.

Carer’s Assessment 📋

Feeling overwhelmed or struggling to cope?

You could be entitled to a Carer’s Assessment – focused on your needs, not the needs of the person you support. Help is available, and you don’t have to manage alone.
