ALT Hina Bokhari OBE AM Chair of the London Assembly Economy, Culture and Skills Committee “Anyone could become a carer, if a relative becomes unwell or disabled, and often it is unexpected and challenging. Carers are unsung heroes, who put their loved ones first, many giving up their careers and independence. “We need to see more financial support for our unpaid carers, and through our investigation, speaking directly to unpaid carers and experts, providing reduced transport costs could have a significantly positive impact. “The Mayor and government must seriously consider our recommendations, and give our unpaid carers the support they need. It’s time we start caring for our carers.”
ALT Hina Bokhari OBE AM Chair of the London Assembly Economy, Culture and Skills Committee “7.8 per cent of Londoners provide unpaid care, and 40 per cent of carers nationally give up work to care. Join us from 3.20pm as we speak to charities that support unpaid carers in London about the support they provide.”
