Supporting Carers

Of the 6 million carers in the UK, approximately 1.5 million are over 60 years of age. More than 8,000 are over 90. Many are the main carer for a spouse or partner, others for an adult child with a disability. With increasing life expectancy, it is now perfectly feasible that a son or daughter caring for a dependent parent may themselves be of retirement age.
