'People can't afford to stay on' says Kettering carer

'People can't afford to stay on' says Kettering carer A man who became the carer of someone he met on an allotment said the profession struggled to retain staff because it was undervalued.

Peter New volunteered for the role after meeting Andrew, a 39-year-old with autism, who had been struggling with unreliable carers.

He said: "Care as an industry is massively undervalued. It doesn't work at the minute because people can't afford to stay." BBC Northampton
