“Caring for someone is such a complicated thing, as everything really just rests on you.”

“For many of them, they just think that it’s a normal part of family life.”

"It has been a year where those of us who were capable simply had to put others first, embracing a human to human kindness."

"I am proud to be a young adult carer, yes sometimes it is rough but I wouldn’t change any of this for the world."

"My advice to other young carers is speak to an adult you trust to get the conversation started."

"We need to begin by viewing social care as a right, and not as a service or industry."

"I am sure we will make it through but some days we do start to doubt ourselves and I am sure we are not alone…"

"The biggest challenge for me is I’ve not got a lot of freedom in my own life."

"It’s a time for real change! The new normal has to address unpaid Carers’ vital role for now and the future."

"A lot of carers felt isolated and alone with no help, financially impoverished, emotionally and physically drained."
