The 5th International
Carers Conference
The 5th International Carers Conference
takes place in Leeds from Friday 9th July. We want you and Carers in
your area to be part of this conference as the topics which are being
discussed effect us all. Carers World Radio
will be broadcasting from the conference each day to bring the millions
of Carers and those they care for across the globe the discussion and
debate from the event.
Carers will also be able to take part through email, telephone, chatroom
and well as facebook and twitter.
A family carer can be arelative, friend or neighbour.
A family carer can be of
any age.
A family carer can come
from any
ethnic, religious or racial background.
1 in 7 people care for others.
43% are men.
One third of family carers are between 45 - 64 years of age.
12,000 children care for their parents.
Family carers are often overlooked
and are certainly undervalued.
Family carers often take on great workloads, involving personal care, emotional support, company and practical
support. Many often care day and night seven days a week. The majority of family carers take on this role out of sense of love, commitment or duty.
