On Carers Rights Day, 24 November 2022, Carers Wales published its State of Caring in Wales 2022 report.

Each year, Carers Wales, as part of Carers UK carries out a survey of carers to understand the state of caring.

A record number of carers and former carers shared their experiences this year, with over 1,000 carers taking part in the survey. 1,043of these are currently providing care. This makes this the largest State of Caring survey carried out by Carers Wales to date.

The report contains a snapshot of carers’ experiences in 2022, capturing the impact that caring has on carers’ lives and evidencing the policy recommendations that would improve this.
