Carers NI carried out our State of Caring survey^[1] between August and September 2021 as part of an annual spotlight on the circumstances of carers across the UK.  State of Caring has been undertaken for over a decade and is the UK’s most comprehensive research into the lives and experience of carers. The latest UK wide research report can be found here.  

This report is based on the responses from 776 people in Northern Ireland currently providing care.
