At tide we believe that carers are the agents of change in their own lives, their communities and wider society. We want carers of people with dementia to realise the true value of who they are, what they do and their potential. We see a world where the human rights, voices and needs of carers are fundamental to the structure of society. We work to achieve this through our development programme, involvement network and influencing opportunities.

This week Carers UK published the Juggling Work and Unpaid Care report. The report finds that caring, unpaid, for older and disabled relatives is "an increasing issue for our time and one that is affecting more families and friends in both the UK and throughout the world." Current census statistics suggest that around 12% of the population are caring for a relative or friend. But, people often don’t recognise what unpaid caring is, or what it entails. We know that carers can take years to identify themselves as carers, meaning that reported numbers could be lower than the reality.
