This report explores the co-design of an alternative support pathway for older informal carers in the UK, focusing on the role of 3rd sector organisations such as older adult daycare centres. Through a series of workshops, we highlight unmet needs, the emotional toll of caregiving, and the importance of culturally relevant resources. We present the informational resources and services co-designed with participants, which integrate into a support pathway based on a six-phase caregiving journey.
