Imagine the entire NHS: hospitals, GPs, dentists, doctors, nurses, paramedics and SO much more, and you didn't know it existed.

That's what it can be like for #unpaidcarers.

Text Reads: Unpaid carers in England and Wales contribute £162 BILLION to the economy every year. That is approx. £445 MILLION every day and equivalent to a second NHS!
