Unpaid carers, have your voices heard!
Carers UK (@CarersUK) profile pictureCarers UK@CarersUK13 Jun 2023
📢 Today we’re launching our State of Caring survey 2023! It’s vital that unpaid carers’ voices are heard. We’ll use what you tell us to raise awareness of the challenges carers face and campaign for change. What are your priorities? Tell us now: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LLKXCQV
Series of photos of carers. The first is a man sat on the floor with his daughter, who he cares for. The next is a woman sat in an armchair, looking at the camera. The final image is a woman and her mum, who uses a wheelchair, outside smiling and waving. Text reads: State of Caring survey 2023. Carers UK logo.
