Could you support unpaid carers in 2025?

We need you
could you fundraise for our unpaid carers?

Anyone can become a carer, at any time.


Introducing Les.
Ten years ago, Les had a well-paid job which involved travelling to Malaysia. On a Friday night in January 2015, he was about to travel out there again, when Linda had her stroke. Linda was on the phone to a friend, and within minutes my daughter shouted to me "mum’s having a stroke".

"When Linda was allowed home from hospital, it was clear that life was changed forever. Our relationship has changed and evolved into something different. To some degree, you’re trying to be a husband and a carer and that’s sometimes difficult. I had to give up my job to look after her as a full time carer."
As a charity, all the fundraising you do directly supports projects and provisions for our unpaid carers. Money raised can help support us in the following ways:
​

• £5.00 will pay for a carer to attend an activity to give them a break and the chance to be themselves, without the responsibility of caring, for a couple of hours
  

​​

• £10.00 will pay for 2 subsidised complementary therapies with a qualified therapist
  

​​

• £15.00 will pay for a carer looking after a loved one with Dementia to attend our Understanding Dementia Course  to receive essential information to help them in their caring role
  

​​

• £20.00 can provide a carer in need with an emergency plan so someone is there to care if the carer is in an emergency
  

​​

• £50.00 will pay for one of our staff to provide Carer Awareness Training to professionals, charities, groups and businesses to help them better identify and support unpaid carers
  

​​

• £80.00 will pay for our carers to spend a subsidised night in our modern caravan at Lakeland Haven in the Lake District, for a well deserved break from their caring role
  

There are many ways you can get involved in fundraising for Carers Link Lancashire. You might have your own challenge in mind, or you may wish to get involved in one of the many organised fundraising events we put on each year.
​
For sponsored activities, such as a marathon, we are able to pay your entry fee and provide you with support and resources for your activity, so long as you agree to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship money for us.
​
Please remember to request our official fundraising pack, which has lots of useful information and resources. Using our sponsorship form also means we are able to claim gift aid on all donations.
​If you have any ideas for other fundraising events, please get in touch and we’ll see if we can support you.
