by rung, one step at a time. Don't look too far up,
set your goals high but take one step at a time.
Sometimes you don't think you're progressing
until you step back and see how high you've
really gone.

Most of us at some point in our lives will be involved in looking after a relative or friend.
-Currently, in Scotland 1 in 8 adults provide unpaid care and with an ageing population and more people living with long term conditions, this figure is rising (Scot Govt carers Strategy ‘Caring Together’. ) Many of these carers juggle work and care (250,000)
-Infact, 3 out of 5 people in Scotland will become a carer in their lives.
-Unpaid carers save the health and social services in Scotland a staggering £10 billion per year, yet in return they often face ignorance, isolation and little or no support. (Valuing Carers 2011: Calculating the value of carers’ support -Carers UK and the University of Leeds)
-It is predicted there will be 1 million carers in Scotland by 2037.
