| Annotation | Nearly 5,000 carers shared their experiences for this survey on the state of caring in 2014, answering a wide range of questions on the issues that affect their lives and their experiences of caring. This report focuses on five issues affecting carers: health, financial hardship, ability to work, and maintaining relationships. Carers also gave their views on how they could be better valued: many experience a lack of empathy or understanding about their role. The two most important issues carers felt need to be tackled by government were to ensure that: carers and their families do not suffer financial hardship as a result of caring; and sufficient funding is available so that older and disabled people get the care they need and which is affordable.
