About Us:

Carers FIRST is a much loved and valued charity supporting people across Essex who look after a relative or friend who due to ill health, physical or mental illness, disability, frailty, or addiction cannot manage without their support. We provide information, advice, guidance, emotional support, training and activities.

We need your help so we can continue to offer our service! Funding will be used to celebrate, value and recognise the role of our carers by offering them day trips, social activities and meals out with other carers who understand, giving them a break from their caring responsibilities and to help them to get the personal support they need.

For many caring is a rewarding and positive experience for others without the right help and support it can feel overwhelming. Please do sign up to the Lottery today to help unpaid carers across Essex. Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

Caroline Pope

Interim Chief Executive Officer
