Mission statement:
Carers Northern Ireland is here to improve carers’ lives. We fight for equality for carers. We want carers to have the same right as everyone else to an ordinary life – a fair level of income, adequate support to protect their health and wellbeing, and access to the world of work, leisure and education.
