We supported carer Katy to discuss her experience with BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning.
Katy cares for her husband, who has motor neurone disease, and both their mothers, who have dementia.
"You wake up thinking about that money all the time," she said, describing the financial strain of care home fees.
Katy also attended Andy Burnham's social care speech yesterday, telling the programme: "It was significant to be in that room... I'd just like to thank Carers Trust for allowing me there."
You can listen to Katy on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, starting from 2hrs 37m, here: bbc.in/4blGPeJ

Who owns accessibility?
Everyone has a role, but they need clear accountability.
When ownership is undefined, accessibility can become inconsistent. Defining responsibilities makes better decisions, reduces risk, and builds accessibility into everyday work.
#Accessibility
ALT Accessibility breaks when leadership is unclear. Clear ownership. Clear outcomes. Lower risk. At the bottom is the IAAP (International Association of ACcessibility Professionals) logo, which is below a diagram with random lines interconnected linking to "Everyone owns accessibility." : Product, Design, Dev, and Legal.

In an exclusive panel, accessibility experts including Suraj Kika (CEO, Jadu), James Jacobs (Head of Accessibility, Jadu), and Robin Christopherson (Head of Digital Inclusion, @AbilityNet) tackled one of the biggest gaps in digital transformation: the failure to prioritise accessibility. They covered:
- The digital accessibility crisis
- Why leadership and culture are key
- AI and the future
- Why legislation matters
The message was clear: Business leaders must act now. Accessibility must be a core priority, not an afterthought, to be truly AI-ready and inclusive.
