Reduced services see unpaid carers pushed to the limit - and desperately worried about winter.
Carers UK have continued to work to understand the impacts of the pandemic on carers. This report focuses on the pressures on carers six months on from the national lockdown.
- Four in five unpaid carers providing more care for relatives
- 78% reported that the needs of the person they care for have increased during the pandemic
- Two thirds (67%) worried about how they will cope through further lockdowns or local restrictions
- Carers UK calls on Government to help reinstate crucial support services as soon as possible, and implement a New Deal for Carers.
