At the start of #CarersWeek @CarersWales has written to all members of @SeneddWales to highlight the concerning findings of this research and outline the ways they can support #unpaidcarers @CarersWeek @WGHealthandCare @WelshGovernment
62% of those who care, or previously provided care, said they had ‘no choice’ in taking on the role because no other options were available.
Today we launch our 'No choice but to care' report, covering the impact of caring on unpaid carers. go.carersuk.org/CW24report

It's #CarersWeek
Let's put #carers on the map today, tomorrow and every day that follows.
Come and see us at the @CarersWales information stand at #gofod3 We’re also running a workshop on the new Carers Leave Act which introduces ‘carers leave’ for unpaid carers balancing unpaid caring and paid employment. So good to see third sector colleagues in person! @WCVACymru
Today’s the day! 🎉
#gofod3 has started & we can’t wait to bring the voluntary sector together to learn from and inspire one another!
