The Government should subsidise fuel and running costs for carers.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Carers are struggling to make ends meet due to the rising cost of living. Having to pay for fuel out of their own pockets is costly and unsustainable. In order to ease the burden the government should help towards fuel costs.

Carers work extremely hard and without them many families would struggle including my own. Having to pay for fuel costs out of their own pockets means that many carers are struggling financially. If this continues it will not be feasible to keep working as a carer and we will lose valuable staff from the profession.
