1. Do you care for a prtner that receives a personal budget?
Would you like to take part in a research project? Our colleagues at Carers Federation, a Nottingham-based charity, would like to speak to carers that are married to or living with a partner who has a physical disability, and whose partner is in receipt of a personal budget to help pay for their social care costs.

The aim of the research project is to find out how the lives of carers may be changing as the personalisation agenda progresses. All participants receive a £10 High Street voucher. For further information, please call:
