Free peace-of-mind for unpaid carers.
For more details on planning ahead for emergencies, check out our Emergency Planning page — including guidance and a downloadable Carers Emergency Plan.
Many carers worry about what would happen if they were suddenly unable to care due to illness or an accident. The free Carers Leeds Emergency Card lets others know someone depends on you and includes contact details of a trusted person who can step in to help in an emergency.
What is a crisis or emergency?
A crisis or emergency is something that could not be planned for, which means you cannot carry out your caring role.
Please do not put Carers Leeds contact details on the card and please do not contact Carers Leeds in the event of an emergency.
You can have a Carers Leeds Emergency Card even if you:
- Don’t live with the person you care for
- Are not the only person providing care for someone
- Are caring for more than one person
- Are not related to the person you care for
You can request a Carers Leeds Emergency Card by using the form below.
