Dementia Carers Count are looking at carers' rights and what carers would like the government to prioritise.
Dementia Carers Count 2024 annual survey of dementia carers is now live. If you provide help and support to a family member or friend with dementia, or have done in the past, they would love to hear from you.
What you share will help the team at Dementia Carers Count to better understand the pressures on family carers, shape the services they provide and prioritise what they ask the government to address.
Last year,1,300 carers told Dementia Carers Count about their caring roles, what they found hard and what would make the most difference to them. The findings helped shape the ongoing development of their Carer Support Service which includes a free support line and online support groups for family dementia carers. The responses also informed the report Invisible and our Dementia Carers Manifesto, which was shared with all parliamentary candidates in the run up to the General Election.
This year, Dementia Carers Count are looking at carers’ rights and what carers would like the government to prioritise, to help shape their campaigning focus over the next year. The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete, and you can share as much or as little as you like. All the information you share remains anonymous. Paper versions of the survey available – request yours here, or complete it over the phone if that is easier for you on: 0203 5400 700.
