Have Your Say
At Carers Support, we’re working towards a future where every carer is seen, heard, and included. Your voice matters, and we want to hear it.
By joining our Carer Voice Network, you can share your views through surveys, help shape the services we offer, and even take part in media opportunities. You can also choose to participate in surveys we share here, run by our partner organisations.
It’s your chance to make a difference, not just for yourself, but for carers everywhere.
Carer Voice Network
Through our extensive carer engagement work, we know Carers want to be seen, heard and included. This network aims to provide a platform from which Carers hold a strong and active voice to influence and co-produce their local service and challenge system leaders to create change for Carers in everything they do.
Have you ever thought, ‘I think that service could be improved if they did x, y and z’? Have you wanted to express your views but unsure where and how to get your voice heard and with effect? If you have these feelings, we would love for you to join our Carer Voice Network.
Here at Carers Support, we put Carers at the heart of all we do, and by sharing your ideas and insights, you can help create positive change for Carers.
Partner Organisation Surveys
These surveys are a valuable way for you to share your experiences, views, and feedback, helping to shape services, influence decisions, and improve support for carers and others.

NHS Sussex would like to hear about your recent experience of using NHS services in Sussex
NHS Sussex are working to improve NHS services across Sussex so that everyone receives joined-up, high-quality care. To do this, it’s really important that they understand what is working well, as well as where there may be opportunities to improve.
If you have used any NHS service in the last three months, they would really value hearing about your experience.
