Family Carers Ireland (FCI) is _the _national charity supporting over
**Apply on the website**,**Apply on the website** family carers across
the country who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones such as
children or adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, frail
older people, those with palliative care needs or those living with
chronic illnesses or addiction. We provide a range of supports and
services for family carers nationally from our local support centres.
We initially proposed the concept of a Carers Guarantee to both the
government and the HSE in **Apply on the website**. The principle was
to tackle the postcode lottery by providing a core offering of
supports and services to family carers across Ireland, regardless of
where they live. The **Apply on the website** Programme for Government
committed to delivering this guarantee and we recently received
confirmation that we will receive a (recurring) increase in our annual
funding to enable us to implement an evidence-based framework of
support for family carers throughout the country.
