2.000 CARERS TAKE PART IN ANNUAL SURVEY
In 2008 the fourteenth annual Carers Week will highlight the impact caring can have on carers' health and wellbeing. 2,000 carers have already contributed to Carers Week by taking part in our annual survey, now well-established as the largest annual survey of carers experiences and opinions.
The results, when published at the start of Carers Week will report on those experiences; the rewards and the frustrations, and the effect on their health. What are the implications for carers, as well as those they care for?
Carers Week is organised by ten leading charities who support the UK’s six million carers. Our key aims are for Carers Week to:
- Highlight and celebrate the contribution made by carers
- Campaign for better support and services for carers
- Promote policies and best practice that can improve carers’ quality of life
- Reach out to ‘hidden’ carers, ensuring they know where to find help and support
