We are a group of volunteers, Carers and ex-Carers, who since 1992 have promoted Carers' interests, supported their needs and ensured their views are heard by voluntary, professional and statutory organisations.
The Forum is Oxfordshire's only countywide independent voice of carers.
Who is a carer?
A carer is anyone of any age who looks after somebody voluntarily and unpaid, who without their support would be unable to manage their day to day living in their own home.
