Have your say to help inform Carers First’s new strategy for a chance to win £100

Carers First are developing their new three year strategy and they want it to be shaped by carers across the country, from both those who have and have not received support from the charity.

Kelly Rust, Chief Executive of Carers First, said: “We'd love to hear about your experience of caring, the support you've received from us or elsewhere, and what you think would make the biggest difference for carers in the future.

Everything you tell us will help us better understand what's working well and where we can improve. We'll use what we learn to inform our new strategy.

We want our next strategy to reflect what matters most to carers and where we can make the greatest difference. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey, it will really help us develop the future of Carers First.”

As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey has the option to enter a prize draw for a chance to win a £100 Love2Shop voucher.

If carers give permission, Carers First may use anonymous quotes to help illustrate the experiences and views shared by carers.

The survey takes around 12 minutes to complete, and there are no right or wrong answers.

The survey will remain open until Wednesday 26 August.
