STATE OF CARING REPORT 2017
About Carers UK
At times, caring can be profoundly joyful. There’s nothing more natural
and human than helping our loved ones get the most out of life.
There’s also nothing more difficult than focusing on someone else’s
needs without neglecting our own. Whether we’re caring around the
clock or balancing caring with work and family life, it can be exhausting.
The ‘system’ can be bewildering. The emotions can be shattering.
However caring affects you, we’re here.
