Too many unpaid carers in Scotland are struggling to make ends meet. We’re calling for a meaningful commitment from every political party for urgent action to ensure carers have financial security and recognition for the vital care they provide. #CarersCantWait #CarersVotesCount

The National Carer Organisations are urging all political parties to make a clear commitment to supporting unpaid carers ahead of the 2026 election. Unpaid carers deserve the same chance to look after their own health as those they care for. #CarersCantWait #CarersVotesCount

The NCOs are urging all political parties to make a clear commitment to supporting unpaid carers ahead of the 2026 election. 3 in 5 of us will become an unpaid carer in our lifetime: supporting carers doesn’t just make political and economic sense, it’s a moral imperative.

Cuts to budgets and services mean people are caring for longer and more intensively— at the expense of their own health, wellbeing and financial security. The NCOs are urging all political parties to make a clear commitment to supporting unpaid carers ahead of the 2026 election.
