Charging ventilators, specialised food and driving to hospital appointments are just some of the additional costs for households with care needs that are being exacerbated by the cost of living crisis.

Shubhanna Hussain-Ahmed from the Coalition of Carers in Scotland is an unpaid carer for several members of her family, and Maureen Ayre is the Senior Care and Support Administrator at Turning Lives Around, a care company based in Dundee – she’s been struggling to recruit new workers.
