Carers UK
This Counts as Care

Film & Campaign Description

On average it takes two years for someone to self identify as a carer. That's two years when they could be missing out on the information and support that's essential to help them both look after themselves and the person - or people - they are caring for. This Counts as Care show how roles can change over time - and that people often aren't aware they have taken on caring responsibilities. And that Carers UK is there for them

Carers UK

Across the UK today 5.8 million people are carers – supporting a loved one who is older, disabled or seriously ill.

Caring will touch each and every one of us in our lifetime, whether we become a carer or need care ourselves. Whilst caring can be a rewarding experience, it can also impact on a person’s health, finances and relationships.

Carers UK is here to listen, to give carers expert information and tailored advice.

We champion the rights of carers and support them in finding new ways to manage at home, at work, or in their community.

We’re here to make life better for carers.
