The Reality
Did you know that there are currently 7.5 million carers in Britain. Amongst the most urgent cases are an estimated 30,000 child carers, some as young as 9 years old who look after not only their parent(s) but also their brother or sister.
Did you know that carers allowance is a mere £69.70 per week (as per April 2022)! You’ll also get National Insurance credits each week towards your pension if you’re under pension age.
Whats more, most carers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Would you do it? Whats more – COULD you do it?
