Your Voice Matters — Act Now to Protect Support for Unpaid Carers

Budget Consultation graphic

We are facing a serious reduction to our funding for 2026/27. Without your action, the vital services we provide to unpaid carers and their families are at real risk of being significantly reduced—not just this year, but in the years to come.

We cannot protect these services without you.

Your experience, your story, and your voice have the power to influence decisions that directly impact unpaid carers across our community.
Please complete the survey and tell the Integrated Joint Board (IJB) what our services mean to you—and what life would be like for you, your family, and your community without them.

Your feedback is not just important— it is essential, and it is needed right now.
