We are incredibly proud to announce that we have received the Excellence for Carers Award from Carers Trust.
Carers Trust is a network of local carer organisations and the award is a Carers Trust standard awarded to charities for best practice in services, advice and information for unpaid carers. They rigorously assess charities for their service, as well as the quality of its leadership, staff, internal processes, and engagement with key local partners and stakeholders.
Charities achieving the Carers Trust standard must demonstrate quality of service to unpaid carers across ten key areas including outcomes and impact, carer involvement, and information, advice and support.
Carers Trust highlighted several strengths of our charity and commended us on being “a really well run, person centred organisation” and concluded that “the staff team are skilled and passionate and go above and beyond to ensure that carers are supported in the very best way possible.”
They also said, “The breadth and depth of the service provision offered to date and the development of service provision as a response to unmet needs is a clear strength of the organisation and is achieving positive outcomes for carers.”
As well as showcasing the quality of our services for unpaid carers, the award means our partners and stakeholders can be confident they are working with an organisation that has best practice and sustainability at the heart of its work.
“Winning the Excellence for Carers Award is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our team at Caring Together Charity. This recognition is not just for us, but for every carer who gives so much of themselves every day. It inspires us to continue advocating for better support and services for carers, ensuring they are valued, heard, and cared for.” – Miriam Martin, Chief Executive.
