If you're a carer, are you receiving the financial and personal support you are entitled to? What about employment rights if you juggle work and care? For help and advice call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk.

Over 6 million people in the UK look after an ill, frail or disabled family member or friend. Carers UK say this unpaid support is worth around 拢119bn per year but often results in lower incomes and increased expenditure for carers.

If you want to find out about the financial benefits, grants or assistance which are available why not ask our welfare benefits advisors for advice.

Maybe you are trying to continue working while providing care? What are your employment rights and how can you enforce them?

Or perhaps you're an employer who would like to help valued staff with a caring responsibility?

To answer your questions, presenter Paul Lewis will be joined by:

Jean French, Head of Advice and Information, Carers UK.
Marian Gell, Welfare Benefits Advisor, Contact a Family.
Lucy McLynn, Employment Partner, Bates Wells and Braithwaite.

To talk to the team call 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher.

Presenter: Paul Lewis
Producer: Diane Richardson.
