Natalie Cassidy: Caring Together: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Best known for playing Sonia Fowler on EastEnders, Natalie Cassidy will be taking on a new role – but off-screen, fulfilling her genuine ambition of a lifetime to train as a carer. She will study, work and care alongside the next generation of young carers.

Natalie will be enrolling at one of the UK's top Health & Social Care colleges where she'll train, study, and work alongside real professionals - facing the realities, the heartbreak, and the joy of caring. Together, her and her fellow students will push open the door to the UK's healthcare providers and put the spotlight on something we all face at some point in our lives - who will care for our parents, who will care for our children... and who will care for us?

Will Natalie and her classmates have what it takes to be the next generation of healthcare heroes?
