Main Content: We back Daily Mirror's caring for carers campaign
The Daily Mirror has joined forces with Carers UK to launch a campaign - caring for carers. The national newspaper is featuring carers' stories this week and calling on government to improve the lives of the six million people who care for a relative or friend.
The Mirror's campaign calls for
- an end to the financial hardship suffered by carers and an immediate review by Government into carers' benefits.
- more respite breaks and more health checks for carers.
- carers to be given discretionary time off when they are unable to cope.
The Mirror are also calling on carers to share their experiences of caring by emailing caring4carers-at-mirror.co.uk
