Carers UK, an organisation designed to help the 6.5 million people in the UK who care for older, disabled or seriously ill loved ones, has set up a new survey about the effects of Coronavirus on carers’ lives and on the lives of people they care for.
Carers UK carried out a similar survey in April to uncover the impact that the early months of the pandemic had on carers. The results of that survey were effectively used to campaign for more support for carers and better recognition of their needs in the Government’s responses to Coronavirus
Now they are going back to carers to see how their experiences have changed in the last five months. The survey includes a section on winter, which the charity thinks will be pretty important in terms of evidence.
You can fill in the survey here. However it must be completed by Sunday September 27 and is limited to unpaid carers.
Their website also contains a Coronavirus advice section. You are also welcome to contact Carers UK for information and support.
