Gillian Grason Smith, one of the founder members, said: “Caring can lead to ill health, poverty, social isolation and depression. Life can be a struggle as carers attempt to support someone else while the meter shows that their own reserves are close to empty.
“The aim of Carers’Rights Day is to ensure carers have access to the information and advice they need to claim benefits, access practical support and find out how tenchology can help ease the pressure.”
