Figures released for Carers Week 2021 reveal that fewer than one in five unpaid carers are confident the support they received with caring roles will continue following the easing of restrictions.
Three carers discuss the need for recognition, more support and what changes they want to see going forward from the pandemic.
Carers are some of the most important and vital members of our society, and this Carers Week is working to Make Caring Visible.
800,000 people across the UK rely on home visits from carers to provide essential daily care. Many more are cared for by their family, who do so unpaid.
Carers provide essential support to people around the country, but the current COVID-19 outbreak means that many carers are unable to visit their clients and deliver the vital services they need.
t is estimated there are around 700,000 young carers in the UK. Despite the high number of children and young people looking after their loved one, it can be difficult to find support as a young carer.
A new study has revealed that adults can have a 50 per cent chance of becoming a carer, with half of women expected to be carers by the age of 46.
Caring comes in many different forms and each experience is unique. During Carers Week 2019 (10 – 16 June), the theme will focus on ensuring carers can get connected in their local communities.
