Carers Rights Day

Friday 5th December 2008

This year’s theme is “Making the Most of Your Money”

• Each year, 2.3 million people become carers
• Last year, 2.6 million carers gained new rights in the workplace but many still do not know about them
• Carers are missing out on £740m each year in unclaimed benefits, yet often struggle to make ends meet.

 

Carers Rights Day aims to increase carers’ take-up of benefits, to inform them of their rights and to raise awareness of the needs of carers.
