A quick reminder that our Annual Unpaid Carers Survey is still live. We want to hear from carers aged 16+ about their health and wellbeing, money and work, social life, and access to services. Your feedback helps shape what we do and influences support for carers across the city.
You could also been in with a chance to win one of six £25 Marks and Spencer vouchers!
Last year, 536 unpaid carers took part. Your responses highlighted ongoing challenges:
- 60% of unpaid carers were most worried about their own health and wellbeing
- 62% said caring negatively affects their physical health, 72% their mental health
- 38% often or always feel lonely
- 45% of working carers said an understanding employer would help them manage work and care
We know there are at least 61,500 unpaid carers in Leeds. Please help us reach as many as possible by sharing the survey.
