What is it like to be an unpaid carer ?

Supporting the Hidden Carers of Solihull

UBH and the Carers Trust are coming together to support the hidden carers in Solihull, and we’re inviting businesses to join us in this vital mission. Hidden carers often juggle demanding responsibilities without recognition or support, especially in the workplace.

To help businesses identify and support these dedicated individuals, we’ve created a simple, accessible one-page guide. By downloading this resource, employers can learn how to recognise hidden carers within their teams and guide them toward the help they need. The Carers Trust offers invaluable support, from advice on carers’ rights to guidance on accessing essential services.

Let’s empower hidden carers to speak up, know their rights, and receive the support they deserve. Together, we can make a difference for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes.

Support Materials

We have produced a series of printable flyers and posters to display in your workplace to encourage all carers to seek advice and support from us. Those materials can be downloaded below
