Who we are About us About us Carers Trust is a local charity for, with and about carers. We're an independent charity supporting unpaid carers and their families. Since 1990, we've worked hard to improve support, services and recognition for Gateshead residents living with the challenge of caring, unpaid, for someone who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems. We're a network partner of the national Carers Trust. Together we're part of the largest independent organisation supporting carers in the UK. We provide a range of flexible, individualised services to both adult and young carers. We provide services that give people a break from their caring and help children and young people to overcome the challenges that young carers can face.
