About European Association Working for Carers (Eurocarers)

Eurocarers aims to act as a voice for informal carers, regardless of their age or the specific health needs of the person they are caring for. The organization brings together carer organizations, universities, and research institutes to promote evidence-based advocacy and ensure that care is valued and unpaid care is recognized as central to the sustainability of health and long-term care systems.

Eurocarers seeks to document and raise awareness about the significant contribution made by carers to health and social care systems and the economy. The organization calls for the development and implementation of an ambitious EU-level initiative that would address the various challenges facing carers throughout Europe. This initiative aims to promote social inclusion, develop support services, enable carers to remain active in paid employment, and maintain a social life.

Eurocarers has adopted ten guiding principles to strengthen the position of carers. These principles include recognition, social inclusion, equality of opportunity, choice, information, support, time off, compatibility of care and employment, health promotion and protection, and financial security. The organization strives to implement these principles in all policy areas relevant to carers and uses them as a guide for its own actions.
