We partner with hotels across the country to let unpaid carers book a short break where they want, when they want

Carefree transforms vacant accommodation into vital breaks for unpaid carers.

Our booking hub lets carers search and stay at over 10,000 unsold hotel rooms across the United Kingdom.

Every donation of £25 or more helps a full-time unpaid carer get access to the break they need to stay happy and healthy.

Why Carefree?

Together we are shaping a better care future.

3 in 5 of us will become an unpaid carer at some point in our life.

We believe that enabling people and organisations to share their resources to support families providing unpaid home care is the only way to ensure Long-Welfare in this country.

By supporting Carefree’s work, you are bringing the Caring Economy to life and unlocking the future resources needed to ensure that when we provide care for one another, we can do it in a healthy and sustainable way.

Meet our Carers

Your regular donation will give us the predictable, sustainable source of income needed to make our moonshot, for every full-time carer to get access to the annual break they need, a reality.

The hotel was excellent & everything was just perfect, 3 days of being completely spoilt! Thank you again, I can’t believe how lucky we were to be given this treat.

I never take holidays because it's too expensive, but Carefree made it possible.

Having a break was a big deal for me. Some people may take it for granted but it makes such a difference.
