Strategic multi-year partnership
Want to go further? Many routes grow into a strategic multi-year partnership, with funding, joint campaigns and employee engagement over several years.
Why unpaid carers?
They're parents, partners, adult children and friends, looking after someone who couldn't manage without them. There are 5.8 million of them in the UK, holding families together, at real cost to their own health and wellbeing.
1 in 7 of your employees is likely an unpaid carer. And time off work rarely means time out from caring: 68% of carers can't get a break when they need one. Which is why every Carefree partner can refer their own staff for a break, at no extra cost.
Why partner with Carefree?
Your customers and your colleagues are carers, or have been, or will be. A partnership with Carefree means your business is part of building something better for the UK’s 5.8 million unpaid carers.
One donated break generates £2,617 in social economic value to the UK economy, so you can see your impact, measure it and show your stakeholders exactly what you’ve achieved.
Our impact
£2,617 is the independent estimate of the economic value of one overnight carer break, from our research with Just Economics. Very few charities can put a defensible figure on what a partnership achieves. When you partner with Carefree, that number belongs to your impact story too.
