Busy B was created with one clear purpose

to recognise, reward, and support the people who spend their lives caring for others.

Across the UK, there are over 5 million unpaid carers supporting family members, alongside hundreds of thousands of paid care professionals and support workers delivering essential care every day. Together, they form one of the most important — and often overlooked — foundations of our society.

Carers support older people, individuals with disabilities, children with additional needs, and those living with complex health conditions. They are present in homes, communities, and services — often working long hours under pressure, with responsibility that goes far beyond what any job title can capture.

Yet despite this, many carers feel undervalued, unseen, and unsupported.

For paid carers, the challenge is growing.

Rising living costs, travel demands, and everyday pressures mean many are finding it increasingly difficult to sustain the role — with some leaving the profession altogether due to challenges such as transport issues, financial strain, and lack of consistent support.

At a time when care is needed more than ever, retaining and supporting carers has never been more important.

Busy B exists to change that.

We are building a platform where carers, volunteers, and those who give their time to others can feel recognised, connected, and supported in practical, meaningful ways.

Our approach is simple.

We bring together community, recognition, and real opportunities into one ecosystem designed to give back to those who give the most.

Through Busy B, members can:

Take part in competitions for the chance to win meaningful prizes

Be recognised and celebrated through Busy B Awards

Access everyday benefits and offers through Busy B Rewards

Connect with a wider community that understands their experiences

Be part of a platform designed to support carers over time

The impact of carers goes far beyond individuals.

Without carers:

Families would struggle to cope

Health and social care systems would face even greater pressure

Many vulnerable people would be left without the support they rely on

Unpaid carers alone contribute billions of pounds’ worth of care every year, while volunteers and care professionals continue to fill critical gaps across communities.

This is not just important work.

It is essential.

Busy B is not just about winning prizes.

It is about recognising the true value of care — a role that sustains lives, supports communities, and holds systems together every single day.

It is also about taking practical steps to support those doing the work.

Through initiatives such as the Busy B Support Fund, we aim to provide help where it is needed most — supporting carers facing everyday challenges, from financial pressure to unexpected situations like transport breakdowns or urgent personal needs.

We are building something long-term and sustainable — a model where participation creates impact, and where carers are not only appreciated, but actively supported and rewarded.

Our focus is clear:

To build one of the UK’s most trusted platforms for carers — combining opportunity, recognition, and real support in one place.

Whether you are a professional carer, an unpaid family carer, a volunteer, or someone who simply believes carers deserve more, you are part of this.

Because caring for others matters.

And those who care deserve more.

Short Version (Updated)

Busy B is a carers-first platform built to recognise, reward, and support those who give their time to others. With millions of carers across the UK contributing essential support every day, Busy B provides real opportunities, recognition, and practical support — including help through the Busy B Support Fund for those facing everyday challenges.

Busy B operates as a for-profit social enterprise, designed to create a sustainable model that delivers long-term value and support for carers. We are not a registered charity; however, our structure allows us to reinvest into initiatives that recognise, reward, and support carers in practical and meaningful ways.
