Nearly a million more people could have unpaid caring responsibilities across the UK by 2035, according to new research. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation says the 10% rise is down to a 鈥渃risis of care鈥� as people are getting older and living with illnesses for longer.

Stephen Manderson, aka rapper Professor Green, has been shining a light on the importance of all types of carers, and looking into the support available for them. It's a topic close to his heart, after he was raised by his grandmother and kinship carer, 'Nanny Pat'.
