Carers Allowance
I want the government to increase the amount full time carers get paid ( Carers Allowance ).
Currently carers get £266 a month for a job that is 24 hours a day 7days a week and 365 days a year.
I believe that all carers should be given a real weekly living wage of £250-£300.
Why is this important?
This is important as carers that look after family members do a hard job like myself we are just like a doctor, nurse or even someone that works in a care home as we work all day and night cleanIng and looking after our loved ones.
I myself was walking full time as was my partner until she got these disability in 2010.
We are a group of people that do a fantastic job but unfortunately we are forgotten about and now is the time to high light this problem so that all carers including myself get a proper living wage.
