Everything you need to know (and a bit more)

At For Carers, we’re proud to support the people who dedicate their time and compassion to caring for others. This FAQ section explains who our exclusive discounts are for, how eligibility works, and what kind of proof you may need to access them. 

Who is eligible for discounts?

Our discounts are exclusively available to individuals working within or providing unpaid support in the care sector. Specifically, eligibility extends to:

  • Foster Carers: Individuals formally approved by their local authority or an independent fostering agency to provide care for children and young people who are unable to live with their birth families.
  • Adult Unpaid Carers: Adults who provide ongoing, unpaid care or support to a family member, friend, neighbour, or partner. 
  • Young Carers and Young Adult Carers (up to age 25): Children and young people who help care for or support a parent, sibling, or other family member.
  • Domiciliary Carers (Home Care Professionals): Paid care professionals who provide personal care, assistance, and support to individuals in their own homes. This includes care workers, personal assistants, and support staff employed by home care agencies or working independently.
  • Care Home Workers (Residential Care Professionals): Individuals employed in residential or nursing care settings who provide care, support, and companionship to residents.

Joining our platform doesn’t cost a thing, and it never will. We believe carers already give so much of their time, energy, and heart, so we’ll never charge you to access the discounts you deserve. There are no hidden fees, subscriptions, or sneaky charges, just genuine offers from trusted brands. Every discount you see on our site comes directly from partner organisations who share our mission to make life a little easier (and more affordable) for carers like you.

To keep our discounts exclusive to genuine carers, we ask everyone to provide simple proof of their caring role. The documents you’ll need depend on the type of carer you are, but don’t worry, it’s all straightforward. Here’s what we accept:

Foster Carers:

  • Recent Payslip (within the last 3 months) showing your name, employer or fostering organisation, and your job role listed as ‘Foster Carer’ or ‘Foster Parent’.

You can provide any one of the following:

  • Carer’s Allowance or Carer’s Credit Letter of Award.
  • Carer’s Assessment Documentation from your local authority confirming your caring role.
  • GP Carer Registration Letter confirming you’re registered as a carer with your doctor.

 

  • Local Carer Card, either physical or digital, issued by a local Carer Support Centre or Health and Social Care Trust

Young Carers and Young Adult Carers (up to 25 years old):

Once your document is uploaded and verified, you’ll have full access to all our exclusive carers’ discounts. Verification only takes just a short time,and it only needs to be done once.

Your privacy matters: All documents are handled securely, stored only for verification purposes, and never shared with third parties. We take data protection seriously and use secure systems to keep your information safe at every step.

We partner with a wide range of trusted brands to bring carers exclusive savings across every part of life: from everyday essentials and wellbeing products to travel, technology, fashion, and home living. You’ll find discounts on groceries, household goods, gym memberships, wellness and beauty products, hotels, days out, gadgets, streaming services, clothing, and more, all carefully chosen to make life a little easier and more affordable for those who care for others. New offers are added regularly, so there’s always something fresh to explore, whether you’re looking to save on daily necessities or treat yourself to a well-earned break.

Yes, most discount codes do have expiry dates, as each offer is set by the brand providing it. If a code expires or reaches its usage limit, don’t worry, you can simply request a new one as long as the offer is still active. We regularly update our deals and refresh expired codes, so there’s almost always an alternative available. Keep an eye on the offer details for specific expiry information to make sure you don’t miss out on a great saving.
