A series of short-form interviews with carers and those they care for, hosted by Gyles Brandreth.

20x 3mins, by John Dash Media, first aired 4th May 2020

Throughout the May of lockdown, community radio stations around the country dedicated time to the rising population of Carers in the UK.

There are approximately 8.8 million unpaid Carers in the UK – that is 13% of the population. Three in five people in the UK will be Carers at some point in their lives.

Caring for Carers featured uplifting, insightful and sometimes emotional stories from Carers across the UK. Experts shared their knowledge and expertise to help listeners through the difficulty of lockdown and beyond.
