🔔 Attention Carers and Supporters!🔔 The annual State of Caring survey, the UK's most comprehensive survey on carers’ experiences, is now open. With a new UK Government on the horizon, this is a critical time to ensure carers in Scotland and across the UK have their voices heard. It’s more important than ever to elevate the profile of carers and advocate for meaningful change. This year’s survey focuses on the issues that carers have told us are most important. It takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete, and every response helps us advocate more effectively. Even if you can’t finish the entire survey, your partial responses will still be valuable. 🔗 Participate here: https://ow.ly/ZPQF50SqPzO 🗓️ Deadline: 11th August 2024 #StateOfCaring2024 #CarersAdvocacy #SupportCarers #UKCarers
