This June we are asking you to Show Your Heart of Gold by organising a Heart of Gold Coffee Morning. So gather around your friends, family and work colleagues and enjoy a cuppa while raising funds for family carers.

In Ireland, over 500,000 family carers provide unpaid care in the home for loved ones such as children or adults with additional needs, physical or intellectual disabilities, frail older people, those with palliative care needs or those living with chronic illnesses, mental health challenges or addiction. Their work often goes unrecognised and their own health, educational and social needs can be affected, as the family carer puts the needs of their loved ones first. Family carers save the state €20bn per annum and provide an astonishing 19 million hours of care each week. They are mums, dads, sons, daughters, siblings, relatives, friends and colleagues. By 2030, 1 in 5 of us will be in a family caring role.

We believe no one should have to care alone.
