Are you looking for one of the UK’s top care franchises?
Our first franchisees followed the business model, took our guidance, applied their skills and grew from zero to £1m turnover in year 1*.
Future stability | Deep rewards | Generous returns
Starting a business caring for people at home answers an urgent need in society, making this a stable, growing sector, one largely immune to political and economic turmoil. Better yet, advancing tech and AI presents a huge opportunity for your new business, rather being a threat.
It’s human-to-human, benefitting people throughout your local community, where working with passion, following a proven business model and applying sound values delivers real rewards.
What MATTERS most
We live by focusing on what matters most, with a wonderful caring culture that franchisees have embraced for their local businesses too.
As franchisor we are a multi-generational family team, providing franchisees a real breadth and depth of experience, a pure passion for care and stability for the network’s future.
- Build your business following one of the very best models. A reputation for excellence – our template operation is rated in the top 2% of care providers by the CQC.
- By taking care of the little details that really matter to our clients, a culture embraced across the network, franchisees also enjoy 28% of business coming through referrals.
- Target a wide mix of private clients, avoiding the pressures of functional local authority care.
- Franchisees enjoy direct access to the family’s huge breadth of skills, knowledge and experience to grow their business.
- No industry experience needed. If neither you or your business partner have industry experience, employ a registered manager to nurture the care portion of your business.
- Established in 2005 and launched as a franchise in 2021, we still have prime undeveloped territories available across the UK.
People just like YOU
The CareYourWay franchise is a perfect route to building your own business in the care sector, and we welcome business partnerships too! In fact, our most successful franchisees combine an astute commercial-minded partner with a passionate people-person, someone who wants to lead from the front.
I feel like I’m never disconnected from Head Office: if there’s anything I ever need, I’m always able to call them. They have repeatedly told me that they’re only a phone call away, and they’ve proven it. It’s genuinely the best support I’ve ever seen.
In our first financial year, we reached £1,000,000 turnover, and I just can’t believe it. We’ve changed thousands of lives so far, all made possible by Head Office. We wouldn’t be here without them
Support from Head Office is amazing. Next to none. We meet with Michelle weekly which is fantastic – we’re following an amazing process with a great and clear direction. We’ve never been in this industry, so it’s all extremely valuable.
Head Office are amazing. I can literally ring at any time. It really puts that warmth into you knowing that you’ve got that support. You know you can do anything because you’ve got Head Office behind you.
Care is hard work and carries a lot of responsibility, we don’t believe you can succeed in this sector without ‘caring’ and that brings its own stresses. With a business partner and all of us at head office, you won’t ever be alone on this business journey.

CareYourWay's nationwide kickstarter for annual Present for a Pensioner campaign
CareYourWay franchises unite nationwide to combat loneliness through our Present for a Pensioner campaign, spreading joy and connection this winter.
CareYourWay is proud to mark the ninth year of Present for a Pensioner — our nationwide campaign dedicated to tackling loneliness and spreading kindness at the end of the year. Originally launched in 2016, this initiative has become a cornerstone of our culture, uniting franchise offices, local businesses, and communities to bring joy to older people who may otherwise face the season alone.
A Nationwide Effort Rooted in Compassion
Present for a Pensioner reflects the very essence of CareYourWay. Each year, our franchise offices collaborate with local partners to raise funds and gather donations, which are used to create beautifully hand-crafted hampers. These are then personally delivered to nominated individuals, offering not just festive treats but the reassurance that they are remembered, valued, and cared for.
The impact of each hamper goes far beyond the gifts inside. For many, it represents a moment of connection, a reminder of community, and a powerful antidote to loneliness. It is this blend of practical support and emotional impact that makes the campaign so unique.
Growth That Changes More Lives Each Year
From its beginnings as a local project, Present for a Pensioner has evolved into a nationwide movement, embraced by CareYourWay offices across the UK. Each year, participation has grown, enabling us to support more people and bring comfort to hundreds more households.
In just the first weeks of this year’s campaign, our South Devon office has raised over £900, a remarkable achievement that highlights the generosity of local communities and the dedication of our teams. With franchise offices nationwide joining forces, these efforts will continue to build, reaching more people than ever before.
A Clear Reflection of CareYourWay Values
The strength of Present for a Pensioner lies in its alignment with CareYourWay’s core values. Our carers are known not only for delivering high-quality home care, but for building genuine, lasting relationships with clients and their families. The campaign is a natural extension of this ethos — one that shows how our franchisees bring care into the wider community while demonstrating the depth of our culture.
For prospective franchise partners, this initiative highlights the opportunities that come with joining CareYourWay. It illustrates how our model extends beyond delivering care services to include meaningful engagement with communities, all while reinforcing the reputation and impact of each local office.
Looking Ahead: A Season of Connection
As the year draws to a close, hundreds more people across the UK will feel the warmth of receiving a Present for a Pensioner hamper. Each delivery is made possible by the collective efforts of franchise teams, the generosity of communities, and the shared mission of CareYourWay to combat loneliness.
This campaign continues to stand as a proud tradition across our network, demonstrating the difference that can be made when care and compassion extend beyond the home. It is a movement that embodies our belief in real care, real relationships, and the importance of being part of something bigger.
An Opportunity to Make a Difference
For those considering a franchise opportunity with CareYourWay, Present for a Pensioner is a powerful example of what it means to join our network. It is more than a business model — it is a chance to create measurable impact, build trusted relationships, and contribute to a campaign that has transformed lives for nearly a decade.
Together, our offices will continue to grow this initiative, ensuring that no one is left feeling forgotten during the most important moments of the year.
