When we first met Nagamma, an #UnpaidCarer from India, she was facing social stigma and financial hardship. But after joining our #CarersProject, she started her own tailoring business, has become a leader in her local carers’ network & was also awarded the Best Carer award by the government 💜🧡

“Being part of the Carers Group has empowered me. I now feel confident, respected, & capable of supporting others." – Pushpavalli, unpaid carer from India As we celebrate #SmallCharityWeek, we're highlighting the power of #connection and the difference it can make for #UnpaidCarers 💜🧡

It’s #SmallCharityWeek & we're proud to be a small charity making a big impact, creating #opportunity, #connection & #hope where it's needed most. Through our work with #UnpaidCarers in low- & middle-income countries, we see how the right support can create opportunities that change lives 💜🧡

Our Development Director, Ruth Patil, is in #Kenya as part of our collaboration with #SenseInternationalKenya 💜🧡 She is conducting training with #UnpaidCarers, local support workers & the Sense International Kenya team, exploring how carer well-being can be integrated into their existing programmes

Why does locally-led action matter and what does it really mean to work sustainably? In this article for BOND during #CarersWeek, our Founder Anil Patil highlights the value of locally-led action and the importance to society as a whole, of supporting unpaid carers 👇🏽 #CarersWeek2026 #UnpaidCarers

Today’s #CarersWeek theme focuses on #Education. For many #YoungCarers, balancing education with caring responsibilities can be incredibly challenging. And where we work in low- & middle-income countries, the challenges can be even greater. @carers-week.bsky.social #CarersWeek2026

Caring can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to work & earn an income. For many #UnpaidCarers across low- & middle-income countries, caring responsibilities can make it difficult to access employment and livelihood opportunities, often leading to financial hardship.

This #CarersWeek, the theme #CarerFriendlyCommunities feels very close to our hearts at #CarersWorldwide, as it captures exactly what we are working towards. Ensuring that #UnpaidCarers are recognised, supported & able to live with dignity within their communities 💜🧡 @carers-week.bsky.social

Today marks the start of #CarersWeek & conversations about how we can build more #CarerFriendlyCommunities. Caring often comes at a cost to #UnpaidCarers own health & well-being. In fact, our research shows that 73% of unpaid carers report experiencing health issues of their own.

There’s still time to support #UnpaidCarers through our BBC #R4Appeal presented by Jo Whiley 💜🧡 Our appeal is live until midnight tomorrow, Saturday 6 June. You can listen to the appeal & donate 👉🏽 bit.ly/4wUcQDG

Meet Mukta and her brother Al-Amin 💜🧡 Hear about her experiences as an unpaid carer and how finding support and connection through our Carers Project with Centre for Disability in Development (CDD) and her Carers Group specifically, has made a difference in her life.

This #VolunteersWeek, we want to say a big thank you to our #trustees who volunteer their time & expertise to support us 💜🧡 As Maveen reflects on the satisfaction she gets from volunteering as a trustee, we'd like to recognise the invaluable contribution all our trustees make to our organisation 🙌🏽

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful Eid al-Adha 💜🧡 Eid al-Adha is a time of sacrifice, care and generosity. If you’re giving Sadaqah this Eid, please consider supporting #UnpaidCarers in low- & middle-income countries, many of whom are excluded from formal support systems. #CommitToCarers

We're thrilled & so grateful that Jo Whiley will be presenting our BBC #R4Appeal, sharing Mukta's story.​ Mukta is from Bangladesh & has cared for her brother Al-Amin who has spina bifida, since she was a child. Jo, who is also a #SiblingCarer to her sister Frances, can relate to Mukta’s story.

In many rural communities in Bangladesh, awareness & understanding of Mental health conditions remain extremely low. To help change this, we recently visited the northern district of Dinajpur, Bangladesh, to make a short film with our local partner, Centre for Disability in Development (CDD) 💜🧡

🚨This is the week! This Sunday 31 May, broadcaster Jo Whiley will be presenting our BBC #R4Appeal & she tells us here why she wanted to make the appeal on behalf of Carers Worldwide 💜🧡 #BBCRadio4Appeal #YoungCarers #UnpaidCarers #SiblingCarers

“I don’t want my charity to exist in the future” This is something you'll hear our Founder and Executive Director, Anil Patil, saying often, and it might not make sense at first 🤔 Watch the video to see why it does 👇🏽

When a loved one is living with #epilepsy, every day can feel uncertain. For Archona, it began when her son started having seizures as an infant. With no understanding of the condition, she struggled to make sense of what was happening. At home, she faced blame, stigma and isolation.

What difference does a #CarersGroup make? Here’s an example from one of our Carers Groups in Pudukkottai District, Tamil Nadu, India. The Vetri Aandavar Carers Group meets monthly, maintaining regular savings, providing members w/ loans through a revolving fund & supporting each other.

Sometimes, being a sibling means being a carer. It can mean growing up faster than you should, taking on responsibilities far beyond your age & putting someone else’s needs before your own. For many #SiblingCarers like Mahadevaprasad, this is what their role looks like. #ItsASiblingThing

73% of #UnpaidCarers report health problems, yet as few as 5% seek medical treatment. This is what our research across #SouthAsia shows. So what’s getting in the way? 🔸 No time & money to spare 🔸 And the constant, often overwhelming weight of caring responsibilities The impact is serious.

Happy Easter from all of us at Carers Worldwide 🌷💜🐣🧡🌿 To everyone celebrating, we hope this season is filled with hope and new beginnings ✨ #Easter #Easter2026 #EasterWeekend

India’s Union Budget 2026-27 marks a shift - with plans to train 150,000 paid caregivers, it seems like care is finally being recognised. But there’s a missing piece 🧩 Millions of #UnpaidCarers, mostly women, are already providing care every day. Yet they remain largely invisible in policy.

💜✨ Become a Caring Champion ✨🧡 Regular monthly gifts give our charity something incredibly valuable: stability. If you believe in what we do, this is one of the most powerful ways you can help. #MonthlyGiving #SupportCarers #UnpaidCarers #SocialImpact #CarersWorldwide #CommitToCarers
