Contact’s Counting the Costs 2024 survey helps get the voice of parent carers into the media and the UK and Scottish Parliaments.
We know that Scottish families are facing huge financial challenges, particularly with the costs of energy, housing, equipment and childcare.
Contact’s Counting the Costs 2024 survey helps us get the voice of parent carers into the media and the UK and Scottish Parliaments. It provides unique insights into the challenges faced by parent carers, helping to raise better awareness and drive the changes that families desperately need.
Scotland’s voice
The survey is taken by parent carers across the UK, but we currently have fewer responses from Scotland compared to other nations.
We need the experiences of Scottish families to be heard loud and clear, so please help us by sharing this survey with your families and contacts. The more Scottish families that are represented, the more powerful our conversations will be with Scottish MPs and MSPs.
We know that parent carers get asked to do a lot of surveys, but our Counting the Costs survey is one that’s worth taking and can really make a difference. The survey takes 20 minutes to complete. Plus, anyone who takes part can win one of 10 vouchers worth £50 each.
The survey closes on Monday 30th September, so there’s not much time left.
