Carers provide unpaid care by looking after an ill, frail or disabled family member, friend or partner. It could be a few hours a week or around the clock, in your own home or down a motorway. There are 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 370,000 in Wales.
Carers give so much to society yet as a consequence of caring, they experience ill health, poverty and discrimination.
