"I felt like I was on holiday for a day" Unpaid carers from @CarersWSussex speak about the positive impact of visiting a National Garden Scheme garden - a lovely way to take a break 🎥 @NGSOpenGardens
This @mytime_charity report based on findings from schools in Dorset, further evidences the urgent need for improved early identification and support for young carers in schools. It also highlights the need for data around attainment for young carers to be looked at nationally.

The recent survey released by @Sibs_uk gives examples of how caring for siblings with a disability can have a big impact on young carers’ lives. Young sibling carers need more support for a fair future.
Our 5 #LondonMarathon runners raised £17,221.56 for unpaid carers 🙌 Huge congratulations on your fantastic achievement on the track and a massive thank you for raising much-needed support to unpaid carers!
It’s absolutely right that people unfairly hit with huge fines for Carer’s Allowance overpayments should have them written off This hounding of unpaid carers needs to stop and the broken, archaic system must be fixed

It was great to join Beverley Tarka on stage at the Supporting Carers Hub launch at the @1adass conference The hub brings together a range of great initiatives across the country making a positive difference for and with carers, brought together through the Carers Challenge
The Govt's response isn't good enough. The number of carers falling foul of the DWP system when all they are trying to do is care for loved ones shows it's the DWP system at fault, not carers. The Govt needs to start listening to carers and overhaul #CarersAllowance completely.

Can relate to this, caring for loved ones is a labor of love, but it takes a toll on carers too. Pete & I are now full-time carers for his dad, who was once independent. The sudden change brings physical, emotional & mental strain. Unpaid caring should be valued more💙

Important news for those balancing work and care. From today, unpaid carers are entitled to a week's unpaid leave. I wrote about what this means, and what the next steps are for supporting our carers. Read it here 👇 @CarersUK @CarersTrust commentcentral.co.uk/we-need-a-cros…
Millions of unpaid carers live in poverty. The next government must take action and deliver: >>> Nationally funded, locally administered welfare assistance schemes >>> A complete overhaul of the social security system >>> Better support for carers to find and stay in employment
"Shockingly, 5% of those receiving Carer’s Allowance had used a food bank in the last 30 days, compared to only 1% of the wider population" Findings from @DWPgovuk's Family Resource Survey show how the huge strain on unpaid carers' finances Find out more carers.org/news-and-media…
Watching Kate Garraway: Caring for Derek. I can barely stop the tears. It’s profoundly moving and feels very personal. Dad - my all time hero - required a lot of care - both paid and unpaid. Our state care workers- mum’s salvation- were extraordinary but on unacceptable low pay.

Kate Garraway has said the £16,000 monthly cost of her husband Derek Draper's care caused her to rack up huge debts. The final year of Derek's life is documented in a new programme on @ITV tonight, in which Draper speaks on camera for the first time, saying: 'I want to be heard'
