• Across the UK, millions of people provide unpaid care for an ill, older or disabled family member or friend. Recent Census data suggests that there are 5.7m carers across the UK. 
• Carers can experience a number of challenges. They are more likely to have poor mental and physical health, and more likely to be living in poverty. Many carers have to give up paid employment to provide care which can lead to financial difficulties. 
• Many carers have experienced discrimination or harassment.
