Men’s Group

Did you know that, according to the 2020 Census, 41% of unpaid Carers are men?

Many men see the support they provide as simply part of being a husband, partner, son, brother, uncle, nephew, or friend. But if someone depends on you for help they can’t manage alone, you’re also an unpaid Carer—and there’s support and advice available for you.

Men often face unique challenges in their caring roles. They may find it harder to express emotions or ask for help, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Meeting with other men in similar situations can be a lifeline, helping you feel less alone and more supported.

Meet Neil
Neil, from Birmingham, balances part-time work with caring for his elderly Dad and his brother, who has a learning disability. He understands the challenges of being a male Carer and the importance of having a support network.

That’s why Neil is launching a Men’s Carers Group—a space where men can connect, share experiences, and build friendships with others who truly understand.
