Caring Roadshows.... what we do
Since 2013, Caring Roadshows have taken place across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, with over 120 different organisations sharing information with over 35,000 visitors.
During this time we have supported others to run Caring Roadshows in Nottinghamshire as well as other regions, including Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
These roadshows have proven to be a lifeline for many carers and their families, offering them not only practical assistance but also a sense of community and belonging. The success stories are numerous, with countless carers finding the help they needed, whether it was through accessing new services, gaining valuable information, or simply connecting with others in similar situations.
Beyond the benefit to carers, the Roadshows have fostered a stronger, more collaborative network among the organisations themselves, encouraging them to work together more effectively to address the multifaceted needs of carers.
Furthermore, the data collected from these events has provided invaluable insights into the challenges and needs of carers, informing policy decisions and leading to improved services across the board.
As we look to the future, the Caring Roadshows continue to evolve, embracing new technologies and expanding their reach to ensure that even more carers can benefit from this vital resource. The commitment to supporting carers remains as strong as ever, with ongoing efforts to adapt and respond to the changing landscape of health, social care, and mental health support.
From 2025, we’re working more closely than ever within local partnerships, making sure that the Roadshows have a community focus, offering bespoke roadshows in different areas around the UK.

Create a Caring roadshow in your area.
Caring Roadshows were held outside Nottinghamshire for the first time in 2023. They were in Barnsley, Sheffield and Leeds.
To see what can be done to showcase health and caring services to carers, patients and families in your area please watch https://bit.ly/3S9iTSt
In addition to being a marketplace to connect services and people, the shows generate conversations which highlight the real issues facing carers and patients. This information can be fed back to the planners of future services to create a genuine ‘Street to Strategy’ ethos.

Who are Caring Roadshows For?
For carers, patients, family and friends who need information about local support organisations
Caring Roadshows are for people who want to obtain information about the range of support services available locally, enabling them the opportunity to make informed choices about the kind of planning, care and support they require. For example, someone needing social interaction with a support group. Alternatively they may need signposting to a charity, home care provider, NHS etc. Each show has up to 20 stallholders offering a range of support and signposting and are FREE to attend between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
For Carers PLANNING FOR FUTURE LIFE EVENTS
If you need to plan for your loved ones financial future we have professionally qualified stallholders who can provide information about Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney. In addition we also have a qualified FCA advisor who can discuss Life Insurance, Critical Illness Insurance, Whole of Life Insurance as well as Family Income Benefit and Protection Insurance. Should anyone want to arrange any of the above then a confidential appointment with the qualified stallholder will need to be arranged. This appointment can be booked at the show.
For Organisations providing care and support
We welcome staff from organisation providing care and support. They can either apply for a stall to showcase their services or they can visit shows to find out what services are available locally for their patients and clients. Feedback from previous shows where visitors working in care such as social workers, carer champions, G.P’s, PCN link workers, general practices nurses, hospital discharge teams and other health care professional have found the shows a valuable local resource.
Want to set up your own Caring Roadshow?
Whether you are an individual or an organisation located elswhere in the country I can help and show you how to set up both a virtual show and live face to face shows. I can provide you with a 'Step by Step Guide' as well as practical support. You maybe part of Integrated Commissioning (Local Government, NHS), a Charity, Support Group, Football Club Foundation, Healthwatch etc. Just contact me by email from the contact page. I have helped Bury Healthwatch set up a virtual show and General Practice Nurses arrange shows in Leeds, Sheffield and Barnsley. Here to help, Trevor.
