When supporting someone you can access certain benefits, information, support and advice. Providing proof that you care for someone can be extremely useful when it’s required. This may be at a hospital, school, attraction, shop or even in an emergency.
Although our carers card provides identification it also supports you in a variety of other ways. Everything from wellbeing to discounts through our dedicated app.
Your card can hold x2 'In Case of Emergency (ICE)' contact details which are an essential piece of information that can be used if you are taken ill or injured. Anyone that's shown or discovers the card has up to two contacts they can call.
A 'Carer's Emergency Plan' is an extremely useful document outlining key information about the person you care for. You can create your plan and share it within your Carer Circle (see below) and via your card by scanning the QR code.
* Creating a 'Carers Emergency Plan' is an optional feature
We're here for you. Our app is designed to improve your well-being, coping skills, and more, to help you live a healthier life.
Your account includes a catalogue of support information; everything from guides to best practices. You can also create your very own 'Self-help care plan' for daily support.
Our 'Carer Circle' tool helps you organise your care by allowing you to add notes, tasks, appointments, medication lists as well as monitoring the wellbeing of the person you care for.
If you share the responsibility of caring with others then you can invite them into your Carer Circle. It makes the task of sharing responsibility easier by helping you work as a team. It’s an excellent way to be kept everyone up to date.

Yes, you can. Our card/app is available for anyone who provides care for someone whether they receive carers allowance or not. What is Carers Allowance?
No. We appreciate that the majority of carers (approx. 90%) do not have any official documentation stating that they are a carer. As part of our registration process, you will be asked a series of questions which will enable us to validate your suitability for the card.
Yes, our card is available for young carers. Any carer over the age of 16 can order their card. For those younger than 16 we ask that a person over 16 applies on their behalf. This is required due to our GDPR policies.
Our card costs just £8 and is valid for the period of 2 years. This includes our free app that provides access to hundreds of online discounts, plus additional features, tools and services designed to support you in your role as a carer.
Our app is the perfect companion to our card. It's a great way to access your digital ID card and all the features available, such as, discounts, wellbeing hub, carer circle, and much more. *You can also access your account online via a pc or mobile browser.
