Are you a male carer aged 65 or over? Have you cared for a partner, spouse, or parent with a long-term condition? If so, researchers want to hear from you!

A new study led by the Universities of Hertfordshire, Kent, and Cardiff is exploring the unique experiences of older male carers to help shape future support and improve research in this area.

This inclusive study especially welcomes participants from Black, Asian, and other ethnically diverse communities. By taking part, you’ll have the chance to share your thoughts in a safe, supportive environment and help ensure older male carers’ voices are heard.

What’s Involved?

• Join 8 friendly online discussion groups (90 minutes each with a short break), once a month from April to December 2025.
• Reflect on your experiences and what could improve for carers like you.
• Receive a £20 voucher for each hour of your time.

Why This Matters
Male carers often go under the radar in national conversations about care. Your insight could directly help researchers design better support systems and reach others in similar roles.
