People who look after a loved one in Tameside are being encouraged to share their experiences as part of the National Adult Carers Survey.
From today, 20 October 2025, a random selection of local residents who provide informal or unpaid care to a partner, family member, friend, or neighbour will receive the survey by post.
The National Adult Carers Survey aims to learn more about carers’ experiences, including whether local services are meeting their needs, how caring impacts their daily lives, and their views on the support received by the person they look after.
Councillor John Taylor, Tameside Council’s Executive Member for Adult Social Care, said: “If you look after a loved one and this survey lands on your doorstep, I really urge you to take part. Your feedback will help us to understand the impact caring has on you and make improvements to local services.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with our friendly Carers team who will be happy to help.”
Tameside Council’s Carers Centre, based at The People Place in Tameside One, Ashton-under-Lyne, OL6 6BH, offers information, advice, and practical support to unpaid carers across the borough.
