This week on Tech Can’t Save Us, hosts Paul David and Maya Dharampal-Hornby are joined by James Townsend, co-founder and CEO of Mobilise, an online platform providing expert support and tailored advice to its community of 90,000 unpaid carers across the UK.

James shares his personal experience of caregiving, and why it inspired him to create an online community for other unpaid carers. The discussion also touches on the future ambitions of Mobilise, the demographics of its users, and the ongoing challenge of identifying caregivers who may not recognise themself as such.

James emphasises the need for scalable systems to support the growing number of careers, the importance of data in shaping policy, and the need to reframe the perception of carers as valuable assets in society.
