Only 2% of unpaid carers in Scotland receive the support they need to enable them to have a break from caring.

In Scotland, people with support needs pay over £40 million every year in social care charges.
This is putting many disabled people and their unpaid carers at risk of poverty.
We are asking for an end to non residential social care charging in Scotland!
