Radical Transparency & Accountability
Building trust through verifiable evidence, not just promises. Our commitment to complete transparency in operations, finances, and impact from day one.
The Crisis We're Addressing
Pathways To Progress exists to solve a critical and escalating societal challenge. The current system is failing our community's unpaid carers, resulting in:
A Health Crisis
72% of unpaid carers in the UK suffer from mental ill-health due to burnout, as reported by Carers UK.
An Economic Crisis
The collapse of unpaid care leads to costly crisis interventions, estimated at £billions annually in additional NHS and social care expenditure.
A Social Crisis
1 in 5 carers are forced to give up work due to their caring responsibilities, increasing household poverty and isolation.
We are building a new model—one that is proven, preventative, and transparent. Your investment doesn't just fund a programme; it funds a demonstrable return on social investment.
