Carers call for urgent action – why it is essential for carers to speak out
Our team regularly speak to and support carers who are in crisis, or who are one change of circumstance away from a crisis situation. It is essential more people are aware of what being a carer can be like, and how the right support can make the difference between crisis and a carer being able to cope.
We want to share your experiences of what led to your crisis, or near-crisis, and the importance of the right support to help you in these situations so we produce a report and send to local MPs, Government ministers, local authorities and others to highlight the concerns of real carers like you.
Share your experiences
To enable us to produce the Carers Speak Out reports, we rely on carers sharing their experiences. Please visit our Carers Speak Out page for an opportunity to have your voice heard!
Every day people looking after a family member or friend tell us how difficult life can be for carers. And many carers feel they are invisible and not heard – we are committed to changing that.
