## Key points

- UK dementia carers often feel unsupported and overwhelmed.
- A new campaign aims to fund six-week support courses.
- The courses will offer practical guidance and a place to share experiences.

## Summary

The article argues that unpaid family and friends caring for people with dementia often face intense emotional and practical pressures with too little support. It announces Dementia Carers Together, a fundraising campaign intended to create a nationwide network of courses and advice for carers.

Around 2.5 million people in the UK provide some form of dementia care. A YouGov poll cited in the article found that four in five carers had reached crisis point at least once, two-thirds felt unsupported and 70 per cent reported worsening mental health. The planned six-week courses, delivered with the Alzheimer’s Society, will let carers share experiences and learn about their rights and available services.
