Caring for
the carers.
Charities care for people, support families and strengthen communities. Their work spans frontline support, research and policy. Carecircle is committed to giving that work practical technology.
The Carecircle Charity Support Programme offers successful applicants one branded Hub and up to five Rooms free during the agreed partnership term.
We care about the people doing that work. Through this programme, charities can bring their community, trusted information and activities together in a space of their own, with their own branding and links.
We agree the setup, onboarding and guidance for your administrators and moderators, alongside membership, visibility, permissions, usage and support. Members retain control over how their personal information is shared.
The core package is free for the agreed partnership term. Your usage allowance, support and partnership term are agreed before you start. Optional premium services, bespoke work and some future features may carry a charge. We explain any proposed charges in advance, and paid services require your agreement.
Tell us about
the work you do.
The programme is for charities. We ask about your charity’s status, purpose and community so we can understand your work and assess the support requested.
Whether your charity is small, newly established or already serving a wider community, explain its status and how it is governed.
How we assess applications
- Your organisation’s purpose and the benefit to the people you support.
- How you would use the Hub and Rooms, and whether the platform fits those needs.
- Your community’s expected usage and the support needed to get started.
- Your arrangements for managing the space and supporting safe participation.
Applications are reviewed individually, taking account of fit and available capacity. Applying does not guarantee acceptance or create a Hub automatically.

Before
you apply.
Is everything on Carecircle free through this programme?
The agreed core package is free for the term set out in your partnership agreement. Premium services, bespoke development, integrations and some future features may carry a charge. These are discussed and agreed separately.
What if our charity has a different registration status?
Choose “Other charity status” and explain your charity’s status and governance. Include the relevant regulator or register where applicable. Each application is assessed individually.
What happens if our community grows?
We agree the initial usage allowance with you and review it as your community develops. Additional usage or services are discussed before any new charge is agreed.
Does running a Hub give us access to members’ private health records?
No. Members remain in control of voluntary sharing. Access depends on the agreed purpose, permissions and appropriate consent; operating a Hub does not give your organisation unrestricted access to private information.
