Millions of people around the world are unpaid carers, providing help for a friend or family member who due to illness or disability cannot cope without their support. For some this may be a few hours a week but for many this can be a round-the-clock role. This can lead to the carer being unable to work or take part in other activities and their own health and mental wellbeing suffering. We visit a Community Caring Centre in Bangladesh that provides care for disabled children and enables the carers to have time to work or rest as well as from the charity Carers Worldwide. And in the UK we find out about a charity that offers low cost hotel rooms for carers to use for a night’s respite away from their caring duties. People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions. You can contact us on WhatsApp by messaging +44 8000 321721 or email peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk. And please leave us a review on your chosen podcast provider. Presenter: Myra Anubi Producer/reporter: Louise Pepper Bangladesh reporter: Tahmeed Chaudury Editor: Jon Bithrey Sound mix: Hal Haines

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • quarterly earnings or about tech reviews.

  • It's about what technology is actually doing to your work, your politics,

  • your everyday life and all the bizarre ways people are using the internet.

  • Listen on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • I don't know about you,

  • but it can feel really overwhelming listening to all the negative news around us.

  • That's why I think more people should be listening to people fixing the world.

  • It's an opportunity to be inspired by individuals who have dedicated themselves to change our world for the better.

  • So go ahead and share some positive news with someone today.

  • As long as there are problems out there,

  • we're the program that will keep coming back with solutions.

  • Welcome to People Fixing the World from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Mayra Anubi and today we'll be focusing on a very large group of people that honestly don't get as much attention

  • as they deserve.

  • I'm talking about carers,

  • everyday people who provide constant support to family or friends who can't manage on their own.

  • Often this means having little to no time, money and support themselves.

  • So on today's programme, we're asking, who cares for carers?

  • Believe it or not, you or someone you know might be a carer.
