Anne Roberts, chief executive of Carers Trust, which works to improve services and support for unpaid carers, said:
Many unpaid carers have never accessed any support services to help them in their caring role.
We already know that many carers simply don't have any awareness of the kind of help that is out there and what a huge difference it could make to their lives.
We've launched Carers Trust so we can ensure that all carers know where to go to get that help when they need it and to help society recognise and value the role of carers in our communities across the UK.
