Dear Carers UK members
This morning Carers UK has published some new research which reveals that 2.6 million people have quit their job to care for a loved one who is older, disabled or seriously ill, with nearly half a million (468,000) leaving their job in the last two years alone - more than 600 people a day.
To read the full report go to:

So far today we've had coverage of this story on Radio 4's Today programme, BBC 'Breakfast' and on the front page of the Daily Mirror. Great to have lots of national coverage of the struggles that many carers are facing.
