Welcome to Carers.org

Ever wondered whether there are others in a similar situation to your own - perhaps feeling isolated and confined at home by the responsibilities of caring for a loved one? You are not alone; here at Carers.org we have an online community of carers from all over the UK who share their experiences and develop friendships every day.

Why not take a look around? Our lively discussion boards give you the opportunity to exchange news, views and feelings with other carers and our chat room is busy most evenings from around 7pm onwards.

We also frequently 'host' chats in our chat room with experts, professionals working with carers, celebrities and writers. The purpose of these chats is to allow carers the opportunity to discuss issues with indiviuals in positions of influence that they might not otherwise have the chance to talk to.

Most recently we held two chats with The This Morning team; Denise Robertson, agony aunt and Dr Chris Steele, GP and health expert. You can read through our previous hosted chats in our chat archive.

Please email your suggestions or requests for hosted chats in 2008 to the Web team
