State of Caring is the largest and longest running survey to gather the experiences and needs of unpaid carers.
The survey is vital to support Carers Scotland in their campaigning for change and has helped win important new rights and commitments from both Governments. State of Caring research has helped win better financial support for unpaid carers including the Carer’s Allowance Supplement, Young Carer Grant and Carer Support Payment for student carers. And coming soon, an extra payment for carers of more than one person.
