📢 Have Your Say – State of Caring Survey 2026

Are you an unpaid carer or have you been a carer in the past?

Your experiences matter. By taking part in the State of Caring Survey 2026, you'll help build the most comprehensive picture of what life is really like for unpaid carers in Scotland and across the UK.

💙 Every response makes a difference.

The results of this year's survey will help shape Carers Scotland's campaigning, research and policy work. With a new Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament making important decisions about health, social care and support for carers, now is the time to make sure carers' voices are heard.

A huge thank you to everyone who has already completed the survey and shared it with others. If you haven't had the chance yet, we'd really encourage you to take part. Every response strengthens the evidence needed to campaign for better support for carers.

📝 Please complete the survey and share it with other carers you know. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8GDBY7K

Together, we can help create positive change for unpaid carers.

The survey closes on 9 August and we will share the findings later this year.

Thank you for helping us continue to advocate on behalf of carers across the UK.

Wonderful short term opportunity for the right person:

Golf / activity companion needed (short-term, 3 hrs/week)
Looking for a companion for a gentleman - initially short term 6 to 8 weeks.
