Carers UK launch a new care calculator
What's the value of care and support provided by the family, friends and neighbours who provide unpaid care to someone who is ill, frail or disabled?
Carers UK has commissioned research that shows the economic value of the contribution made by carers in the UK is a remarkable £119 billion per year.
The care they provide to help sustain people in their own homes and in their own communities is vital. Without it, society would collapse.
