MariaPCC 15 July 2026

Unpaid carers in England will be better recognised, referred to support and helped to reach their full potential, under a new cross-government action plan. Nearly one in 10 people in England is an unpaid carer – providing an invaluable service in society looking after family members, friends or loved ones. However, unpaid carers can experience challenges with keeping up careers or education, looking after their own health – including loneliness and isolation – and difficulties in taking breaks away from caring.
