Carers Annual Survey 2007

Dear Carer

I am pleased to upload to your website a copy of this year's annual survey, and very much hope you are able to complete it and return it to us.

This year we are aiming to highlight the impact being a carer can have on your finances and health, and on relationships with friends and family. The results of the survey will form the centrepiece of Carers Week, which every year:

* Recognises and celebrates the contribution made by carers

* Campaigns for better support and services for carers

* Promotes policies and best practice that can improve carers‘ quality of life

* Reaches out to ‘hidden’ carers, ensuring they know where support can be found

The results of this survey will appear in the media, will be sent to every MP, will be circulated to key decision-makers and opinion-formers, and will help to form the evidence and create the momentum that can achieve positive change for carers.

The form should only take a few minutes of your time to complete and needs to be returned to us by 30 March 2007 at the latest. Alternatively you can complete the survey online at www.carersweeksurvey.org.uk

Many thanks for your assistance, and for helping to ensure carers’ voices are heard loud and clear.

Best wishes.

Paul Matz
Carers Week Manager
