• A year ago Trevor could still walk with a stick, get taxis home and go to the pub. He also had a volunteering job two days a week, but was dismissed about six months ago when his disability became worse.
•  In fact residents of the UK now have a 65 per cent chance of providing unpaid care in their adult lives.
• We urgently need a fair, effective and properly funded care system across the UK so no one is forced to give up work to ensure their loved one gets proper support, or terrified about what the future might hold without them.

This news is a mix of hard and soft as the issue is serious but it would not apply to everyone in the UK as a concern for the country.
