For women who care for others — and still have dreams of their own.

Caring for someone else can change your plans, your work and the way you see your own future. But being a carer doesn’t mean your own dreams and ambitions have to disappear.

Carerpreneurs is about helping women keep sight of themselves, their aspirations and their future while caring for someone they love.

Whether you’re already running a business, thinking about returning to work, exploring something new or simply wondering what your next chapter might look like, you’re not alone. Sometimes the first step is simply giving yourself permission to think about you again.

When caring changes your plans

Caring responsibilities can arrive gradually or change everything overnight. You may have reduced your hours, stepped away from employment, put a business on hold or found that the future you once imagined no longer feels possible.

You may also have discovered strengths you didn’t know you had.

Your caring role is part of your life. It doesn’t have to define your whole identity.

What you’ll find here

Initially, I’d have perhaps four little sections/cards:

Finding your direction
Ideas and resources to help you think about what you want for your own future.

Confidence & clarity
Gentle prompts and practical tools to help you take your next step.

Work & enterprise
Resources for women considering employment, self-employment or developing an idea around their caring responsibilities.

Practical resources
Checklists, guides, workbooks and e-books designed to make taking that next step feel a little easier.

Carerpreneurs is part of Future Intentions for Women

Carerpreneurs began as a project supporting people who were balancing caring responsibilities with work and enterprise. It now has a new home within Future Intentions for Women, where it can become part of a wider conversation about women, life changes, confidence and creating positive futures.

Because sometimes the future doesn’t look anything like the one you originally planned.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t another future waiting to be created.

Start with one small step

We’re developing a collection of resources for women who care for others and want to keep sight of their own future.
