Over 60% of the visitors to Living Made Easy are doing so on behalf of someone they support or care for.

The Carers Week campaign is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support. This year’s theme is about making caring Visible, Valued and Supported.

There are approximately 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK making a vital contribution, and these carers often go unrecognised and unsupported. Over 60% of people visiting Living Made Easy every day are doing so on behalf of someone else. In many instances this will be a parent, spouse or child that person cares for. Living Made Easy carries a wealth on information and guided advice on aids to daily living for anyone in a caring role.  If you are looking for equipment to help support the needs of someone you are for, but don’t know where to start then try the Carers UK AskSARA

Visit Carers Week for more information about the campaign and this year’s activities.
