I’ve never heard of a carer card unless somebody is employed as a carer in which case I assume their employer gives them an ID card.0

It's a card much like a driving licence with your details on to show you are a carer, it also allows you as a carer free entry and discounts to places, it just saves having to take your award letter with you as proof.0

Intriguing as it seems to be commercial but I can see the potential value.poppy123456 said:

I do think most cards come at some cost, even if just for postage.
I couldn't find anything on Carers UK which is the website on the GOV website. They have an email address which is: advice@carersuk.org. It may be worth asking them?1 -
Beware ther are firms selling them on here but you don't have to pay for them it is your entitlement as a carer or disabled person0

Am now confused. In the opening post I though you were asking for advice on how to get a card but this latest post seems to mean that you know where to get one free.Steveab said:Beware ther are firms selling them on here but you don't have to pay for them it is your entitlement as a carer or disabled person0 -
I'm not sure how much detail the National Trust essential companion card has, but I'm going to get one

There's also this but not sure how 'binding' it is
