Our values
Wharfedale Carers Trust has supported unpaid carers since 1998. These are the three things we will not compromise on, each with the number that shows it.
01
When a carer rings us, a person answers. Not a menu, not a callback form: one of our volunteers, who has usually been a carer too.
4,212
calls answered by a person last year
02
Most carers cannot leave the house for long, so we do not ask them to. Advice, respite sitting and benefits checks happen at the kitchen table.
71%
of our visits made in the carer’s own home
03
We are funded by Wharfedale people and we spend it on Wharfedale people. Our accounts are online for anyone to read.
