Our history

TuVida grew from an aim to offer people in local communities the best and most appropriate care and support.

Formerly known as Carers Trust East Midlands, in the late 2010s the organisation steadily increased in size and reach, overseeing more trusts and providing valuable care services in more and more areas across the UK.

  • East Midlands
  • North Notts
  • Epping Forest, Harlow, Havering and Redbridge (EHHR)
  • Thames (covering North Bucks, Milton Keynes and Ealing)
  • Harrogate, Craven and York
  • South Central
  • Reading

The organisation continued to recognise the need to be a full member of local communities wherever it operated, delivering high quality professional care and support. However, it recognised that operating under so many different names was confusing for the very people it aimed to support.

So in 2020, the organisation fully rebranded and launched one single name across all of its local offices: TuVida.

This new name and approach would enable the organisation and all of its offices to reap the best of both worlds — combining the resources and scope of a large organisation with skills and knowledge that are only gained by taking account of local issues.
