Unpaid caregivers in the UK have spent an extra 92 MILLION hours looking after relatives with dementia since lockdown.

The Alzheimer's Society has found that families and friends have been forced to dramatically increase their caring responsibilities since the end of March.

Women comprise about 67 per cent of all unpaid carers. Of the 1,102 unpaid carers polled, it was found that 68% of women felt more anxious, 52% had developed problems sleeping and 71% were constantly exhausted.
