Take part in our 2024 carer survey

 :  News

Our 2024 annual survey of dementia carers is now closed.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 2024 survey of dementia carers. What you have told us will help us better understand the pressures on family carers, shape the services we provide and prioritise what we ask the government to address. 

About the 2024 carer survey 

Last year, we heard from over 1,300 carers who told us about their caring roles and what they found hard. Our findings informed our report Invisible, which highlighted the challenges faced by carers and what could make a difference to them. The results also formed the basis of our Dementia Carers Manifesto (PDF) which we shared with all parliamentary candidates in the run up to the General Election.  

Main themes 

This year, we’re

  • looking at your rights as a carer
  • asking about what you need
  • finding out what you think the new government should prioritise. 

Take part

The 2024 carer survey should take about 15 minutes to complete, and you can tell us as much or as little as you like. All the information you share remains anonymous. We have paper versions of the survey available – request yours here.  We can help you complete it over the phone if that is easier for you – call us on 0203 5400 700. 

What will we do with the information? 

Everything you tell us will help us adapt our support and enable us to speak up loud and clear about what must change so that no dementia carer feels overwhelmed or alone. 

Helen Pyper, Head of Policy and Campaigns said:

“Thank you so much for taking the time to complete our survey. We look forward to sharing the results with you in the new year and campaigning for what will make the most difference to you.

“Some of the survey questions may make you think about whether you are getting all the support that you should be getting. If you’d like to find out more about your rights as a carer and what support you are entitled to, or if you’d like to talk to someone about what you are finding challenging, please call our free Carer Support Line on 0800 652 1102. We are here to help. Our friendly experts can give you advice over the phone and we also offer free counselling sessions to carers, you can ask about this when you call.”
