Hi and welcome Onetoomany.

You can get a carer's card from these folks in Northamptonshire:

What is good is that the card is free.

Hope this helps.

That's what I thought - you can get a carers card for emergency care for the person you care for if anything happens to you - but never heard of anything other than

well if you went to the cinema there's the cinema exhibitors card which allows entry for a carer, and I guess you could show a carers allowance award letter. I've cerainly never heard of a carers card, perhaps you could call one of the companies and ask what they mean as I think we'd all like to know!

a google search shows some local authorities have a carers discount card scheme but I cant see anything about northants
