As the primary carer for my wife, the Care Poverty Coalition's election manifesto makes perfect sense.
Due to my pension on early retirement, my shift into unpaid care has not been as financially draining as it is for many, but I am very well aware of the pressures carers are under.
Carers are more likely to be in poverty than the general population & (if my experience is anything to go by) will see experience mental health impact(s) on their wellbeing
