Led by Carers, For Carers

Press & Media

We Care Campaign is a grassroots organisation led by unpaid carers, working to make caring visible and amplify the voices of unpaid carers. We want to make policy reflect the reality of our lives.

We support journalists, broadcasters and editors with credible comment, lived-experience insight and fast, reliable responses on unpaid caring, social care and disability benefits.

Our strength is simple: we live this.

“Social care is a key part of our coverage at the Guardian. I can rely on Katy Styles and We Care Campaign for authentic, compelling insights into the lives ofcarers and the challenges they face, as well as a valuable understanding of the grassroots impacts of national policy decisions.”

What We Can Help With
Comment and reaction on carers, social care and disability benefits
Insight into Carer’s Allowance, overpayments and welfare reform
Connecting journalists with unpaid carers willing to share their story
Longer-form features grounded in lived experience

We also work with a network of unpaid carers across the UK who have completed our spokesperson training and are supported to speak to the media.

These carers are available for interviews and contribute insight from different regions and caring situations. We are careful and ethical in how carers’ stories are shared and supported. Carers are briefed, supported and never expected to speak beyond their own experience.
