Most of us will be a carer at some point. For some it’s sudden, someone you love is
taken ill or has an accident, or your child is born with a disability. For others caring
creeps up unnoticed. Your parents can’t manage on their own any longer or your
partner’s health gets gradually worse.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a particularly devastating impact on unpaid
carers. After months of caring around the clock - often without any outside support
from others or care services - many carers are at the point of burn out, with 74%
reporting feeling exhausted or worn out since the start of pandemic.
That’s why we need your help to make caring less overwhelming. Your fundraising
means we can be there for carers, to give them the support they need and deserve
at this challenging time.
Quite simply, with the vital funds you raise we can continue to do work to make life
better for carers. For more information, please visit our website:
