Caring Together

Pure Executive is proud to be partnering with Caring Together in the appointment of a new Chair of Trustees – an outstanding opportunity to lead the governance of a highly-respected charity in the region.

Caring Together is a trusted, long-standing charity that supports carers of all ages across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, and Norfolk. With a 40-year legacy, the organisation provides vital services that empower unpaid carers – often the unsung heroes of our communities – through expert advice, information, and hands-on support.

Following a successful 2024/25, the charity is reporting a turnover of £4.2m and healthy unrestricted reserves of £874k, held in cash. They’re budgeting for a modest surplus in 2025/26, with Q1 figures and a reforecast confirming that they’re firmly on track. 

The trustee board has been skilfully led by current Chair, Stuart Evans who has ensured the Board has remained fresh, engaged, passionate for the cause, and forward-thinking throughout his tenure. Several high-calibre new trustees have recently joined the Board providing new ideas and insights to complement the wisdom that exists amongst the longer standing members. The leadership team is highly stable, cohesive, and experienced, with the most recent senior appointment now approaching three years in post.

Caring Together has been recognised with the Carers Trust Excellence for Carers Award and the Compassionate Employers Award, and they continue to be rated ‘Good’ by the CQC. Staff engagement is high, with 94% of the team saying they are proud to work for Caring Together, and retention remains well above industry norms.

This is a well-governed, values-led organisation delivering real impact in the lives of unpaid carers and their families.

The demand for their services continues to grow, reflecting both an increase in need and recognition of their value. As a result, Caring Together is evolving and expanding its reach – and is now looking for a new Chair to guide its next chapter. This is an exciting time to join a dynamic and values-led charity. This is more than a governance role. It’s a chance to shape a better, fairer future for thousands of carers who rely on Caring Together’s support every day. If you are an experienced leader who wants to give back, influence lasting change, and lead with integrity, we would be delighted to hear from you.
