Let’s take a moment to celebrate this special day. It’s an important one that brings organisations and communities together, to help spread the world so that carers know their rights and find out how to get the support they are entitled to.
73% of people who care for someone don’t know they are a carer, and as a result 46% miss out on essential financial support and 36% on practical support. This can include key rights such as flexible working, being consulted on hospital discharge, being identified as a carer by your GP and the right to a Carers Assessment and Carers Allowance.
Carers play a vital role in our communities, providing care, compassion, and support to those who need it most. But who supports the carers? That’s why today is so important – to shine a light on the information, advice, and services available to help carers navigate their journey.
Let’s make sure no carer feels alone or unsupported. Together, we can create a more caring community.
Contact Carers Scotland or your local organisation for support and guidance.
