Most of us juggle busy lives, but for carers, providing support for a relative, partner or friend, the pressures can be enormous. More than six million people, including 175,000 young carers under the age of 18, give their time in this way - that's one in eight people in the UK. read more

Do you care for a partner that receives a personal budget?
18/08/2011
Would you like to take part in a research project? Our colleagues at Carers Federation, a Nottingham-based charity, would like to speak to carers that are married to or living with a partner who has a physical disability, and whose partner is in receipt of a personal budget to help pay for their social care costs. The aim of the research project is to find out how the lives of carers may be changing as the personalisation agenda progresses. All participants receive a £10 High Street voucher. For further information, please call Dr Emma Richardson, Research Development Worker at Carers Federation, on 0115 962 9328, e-mail research@carersfederation.co.uk, or visit http://www.carersfederation.co.uk/researchopportunities/
