Carers in Bedfordshire is reshaping its work after losing a long-standing contract, while continuing to support unpaid carers across the county.
The charity faced a major transition when its adult carers service contract ended, but has continued operating independently and developing services around the needs it sees in the community.
Unpaid carers often provide practical and emotional support to relatives and friends while managing pressures on their own finances, health and time.
The organisation's response shows how a local charity can adapt after a funding change rather than simply disappearing with the contract that once underpinned part of its work.
