I have had over twenty years experience as a fulltime carer for my dear mother, sadly she died in october 2006, since her death i promised myself that i would fight for the rights of the elderly and carers, they are the unsung heroes of this great country we call England, the elderly population are treated worse than the prison population, infact prisoners have more human rights.
Carers, there are six million of them, do their caring lovingly for their relatives, the only financial reward is less than fifty pounds per week, some carers work 24/7, no holidays, give up the oportunity of having families of their own, the sacrifice is huge and the government takes advantage of that, things need to change and thats what i am fighting for.If you wish to contact me to discuss these issues more then go to http://www.tonyrhodes.co.nr or Email me at rhodes@englandmail.com
