Husband, Partner, Dad, A survey of the experiences and needs of male carers – Carers Trust Report
This report looked at the experiences and needs of male carers and highlights the need for support for informal carers. Over half (53%) of the male carers surveyed felt that their needs were different to those of female carers, many citing that men find it harder to ask for help and support and that balancing work and caring is challenging, particularly if they are the main earner.
