| Annotation | Caring with Confidence was launched in April 2009 and aims to have reached 27,000 carers by the end of March 2011. The programme is backed by the Department of Health with funding of £4.6m per year for the next two years. It is part of the 2008-renewed National Carers' Strategy and the New Deal for Carers, which aims to improve support for carers. The programme is being delivered by a consortium of five organisations - Carers UK, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers, Crossroads Caring for Carers, Partners in Policymaking and the Expert Patients Projects Community Interest Company. There are currently 26 Caring with Confidence schemes across England. They are run by a range of providers including voluntary sector organisations, local authorities and primary care trusts.
