Exploring the economic impact of caring for people with cancer
A research team at the University of Manchester want to hear about your experiences of caring for someone with cancer, and how that has affected your life.
Existing evidence suggests that providing care to someone can negatively impact your economic opportunities (such as paid work) and financial wellbeing. The research team want to hear from you about your experiences of being a caregiver.
You are eligible if you live in the UK, are aged 16 or over, and are currently or have previously provided care to someone with cancer in an unpaid role.
Chat anonymously with a friendly researcher online (over Microsoft Teams) at a time that is convenient to you, and share your experiences.
You will be financially compensated for your time in the form of vouchers.

The project is supported by Cancer Research UK.
