“

“Anyone’s life can be turned upside-down as a result of ill health, disability or frailty of a member of our family or a friend. Even before the pandemic, three in five of us could expect to become a carer at some point in their lives. During the pandemic, this figure has increased and the need for information, timely support and practical help for family carers has become even more crucial.”
