Social workers trained for care, not paperwork, face arduous forms daily. AI could alleviate this, but widespread use raises concerns. Are we becoming too reliant on powerful tools we don't fully understand?

We're working with partners to help leaders understand that supporting carers is an investment, not a cost. It takes time, but making space and valuing this support is crucial, especially as carers face increasing headwinds. Shifting things forward allows them to focus on personal care.

How do informal unpaid carers experience and engage with digital health support, and what factors influence engagement? There is still not enough research in this space. If we can understand this better, it could help improve the support and services available to carers across the UK.

If you are an informal unpaid carer, please do take part. If you know someone who is, please do share the link. Thank you

AI remains a black box for many, leading to adoption challenges. Implementing robust safeguards is crucial for trust and comfort. While it feels recent, the lack of long-term examples makes evidencing its benefits difficult for councils.

Despite the war in Ukraine and the rising cost of living, there's a reason for optimism. We're aiming for a better year for carers and those who support them. Let us know your ideas for improvement!

Loneliness Awareness Week is 15th - 21st June 2026 💛

Loneliness is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. During Loneliness Awareness Week, we’re encouraging open conversations to help break the stigma and remind people that they are not alone.

By talking about loneliness, checking in with others, and creating opportunities for connection, we can build stronger communities where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Together, we can make a difference—one conversation at a time.

Imagine removing a major drain tomorrow. So much time is spent on routine tasks, not people. We want to shift this balance in local government, allowing social care workers to spend more time supporting individuals and less on repetitive processes.

Commissioners need to build trust in local community-based organizations for carer services, especially with digital pressures. Fragmented funding for digital solutions causes confusion. We support commissioners in understanding the value of backing local carer services for digital innovation.
