Carers UK would like to hear your experiences of being an unpaid carer in 2025.
Please note that this survey is only for unpaid carers (or former unpaid carers) who are looking after a disabled, older or seriously ill relative or friend.
The survey is the most extensive survey into unpaid carers’ experiences in the UK. It is used as a vital source of evidence not only by Carers UK, but by many other organisations including Government, local authorities, health and social care services, charities and carers' groups. Carers UK is a membership organisation, and they cannot campaign for change without carers' help. With new proposals and policy changes being announced by the UK Government, it is more important than ever that you have your say.
As caring can have an impact across so many different areas, they have asked several questions in this survey. It may therefore take around 30 minutes to complete.
The survey closes on 10 August and the results will be published later this year.
