About Carers UK
Carers UK is a charity set up to help the millions of people who care for family or friends.
There are over 6 million people in the UK caring right now but whilst caring can be part and parcel of life, without the right support the personal costs can be high.
Caring can take its toll on your finances, your health, your career, your family and your social life. Carers can fall out of paid work and many rely on low-level benefits, forcing them into poverty.
Yet without unpaid carers our NHS would collapse and the country would face an £119 billion care bill it cannot afford. Carers are contributing so much to their communities by looking after the people they love, yet in return they face ignorance, isolation and little or no support. This has to stop. It cannot be fair that those who contribute so much are valued so little. Carers UK wants society to respect, value and support carers.
