Our Story

Carers Month was born from a simple idea: what if we brought people together to give something back to those who spend so much of their lives caring for others? From that small idea, a community-led initiative began to grow.

Carers Month grew from the Healers Community Care Collective, a community of more than 600 wellbeing practitioners from around the world who volunteer their time, skills, and experience to support communities where wellbeing and spiritual support may not otherwise be accessible.

As Carers Month has grown, people from beyond the Collective have also joined us, bringing their skills, time, ideas, and generosity to help create something special for carers. Many of the people involved in this project are carers themselves or have been carers in the past. We understand that carers often spend so much time giving to others that there can be very little left for themselves. So, we are creating a month where carers are invited to receive rather than give.
