Conor met with a team from Macmillan Cancer Trust who aim to support the 2.5 million people living with Cancer in the UK.
They spoke with Conor about their current campaign which focuses upon the experience of carers. 110,000 people in the UK are caring for a parent with cancer, which could include everything from taking care of finances to washing and dressing them, whilst also looking after their own children. Of these ‘sandwich generation carers’, 89% are also juggling a job with their caring responsibilities. The majority (70%) of all cancer carers are now aged 45 or over.
