Speak up for older carers campaign

Carers Trust are campaigning to raise awareness of issues affecting older carers in England, with their Speak up for Older Carers Campaign to influence health and social care policy and heighten public awareness.

Carers often have poor health in their own right, as well as finding themselves caring for longer into old age. It is vital that national and local policy reflects the growing numbers of carers and make robust plans for their future needs.

Carers Trust are currently running a survey asking carers 65+ about their own health, the findings of which will be published later this year. Please adapt these tweets or RT these:
