Celebrities Malin Andersson, Ade Adepitan and Naughty Boy have teamed up to share their experiences and offer tips and advice to help Britain’s unpaid carers manage the responsibility. New research has found 89 percent of unpaid carers weren’t prepared for the responsibility of looking after someone, with patience, staying emotionally strong, time management and multitasking revealed as the most valuable skills to have when caregiving.
With unpaid carers dedicating 22.5 hours a week on average to looking after someone, Smart Energy GB and Carers UK have teamed up with famous faces and real-life carers to offer advice to Britain’s estimated 5.7 million carers about ways help take the stresses and strains out of caring in a new campaign video.
Paralympian and TV presenter Adepitan, multi-platinum selling DJ and producer Naughty Boy and TV personality Andersson have talked about their own deeply personal experiences of caring for their loved ones, while offering heartfelt advice to the unpaid carers of Great Britain. Andersson rose to fame in 2016, appearing on the hit TV show Love Island and has since dedicated time to caring for her mother who passed away in 2017 from cancer.
