Carers’ Week found more than three-quarters of carers in Wales had reached “breaking point” due to their role, reports the BBC.

The charity said carers should be “more visibly supported and appreciated”.

A survey found more than a third of respondents cited “frustration with bureaucracy” as the cause of reaching breaking point.

More than a third of the people carrying out the survey said that more money would make a big difference. The Carer’s Allowance is one of the lowest benefits at just £53.10 per week.

Carers’ Week cited research by YouGov, which showed 77% of the public in Wales believe this was an unreasonable amount to support carers who were unable to work because of their caring responsibilities.

Carers Week is in its 15th year and will run until 15th June.
