To care for someone, 24 hrs a day, every day, is a profoundly challenging experience. It can very quickly bring one face to face with one's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual limitations. The challenge, if one is to maintain an alive relationship with one's partner, is to keep on growing in awareness and constantly achieve new levels of mental, emotional and spiritual growth.

This means that most carers are truly remarkable people.

We have this dream :

• That together, especially if we pool experiences, we can find a cure for ME, or at least be an authoritative voice in the controversy and debate that still rages around ME, to the despair of many sufferers and carers.
• That a forum can be created for carers to express themselves : creatively, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, transcending the limits posed by the illness, poverty or distance.
• That the complexity of the carer experience is fully acknowledged by colleges, universities and employers.
• That all carers have the opportunity, if they so wish, to have their experience recognised, validated and fully accredited.
• That there is an accessible range of courses and general education for all carers.

carersTogether is deeply committed to the the principles of partnership .
