There are just over 2 weeks left to complete our State of Caring Survey 2024. If you haven't done so already please share your experiences of unpaid caring with us so that we can work on your behalf to champion the rights of unpaid carers. surveymonkey.com/r/JLR2B79
State of Caring survey 2024 is out now. Have your voice heard! The survey will take 20-30 minutes to complete. We know carers are very busy, so we hugely appreciate every response we receive. surveymonkey.com/r/SW8D6XS
64% of those who care, or previously provided care, said they had ‘no choice’ in taking on the role because no other options were available. Today we launch our 'No choice but to care' report, covering the impact of caring on unpaid carers. go.carersuk.org/CW24report
We're really pleased to be attending #gofod3 this year. Come and see us on our stand. We'll keep you updated through the day. More information here: gofod3.cymru.
Check out our free training for unpaid carers, available throughout the year 📣 Get top tips on maximising your voice, influencing services and understanding the key organisations and people making decisions that impact on your caring role. buff.ly/49JdAPX
Thanks to @GildernewColm for his support for carers at today’s @NIA_Communities. Unpaid caring has an enormously damaging impact on carer’s finances and Carer’s Allowance isn’t fit for purpose. The Carer’s Allowance Recognition Payment would lift thousands out of poverty.
