兔子先生

In January 2024 兔子先生 carried out a survey of adult unpaid carers.

The purpose of the survey was to:

• get feedback from adult carers, particularly from those who don't receive formal support from adult social care services
• give us a real understanding of their challenges, experiences and the things that matter most to them
• keep us informed on the state of caring in South Tyneside
• help us to develop the priority actions going into year three of the and beyond

154 adults who provide unpaid care in South Tyneside completed the survey, although not everyone answered every question.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide us with their thoughts and comments. 

The findings of the survey will help us to influence decision makers across our health and social care system and encourage them to do more to improve the lives of unpaid carers.

The following page contains a summary of the results. If you would like more details, please contact jacqui.kaid@southtyneside.gov.uk.
