For many years, caring for his father was a difficult and isolating journey for Selvam but joining our #CarersGroup changed what support looked like for him 💜🧡 It gave him space to talk, share and feel part of a community that truly understands him and his experience as an #UnpaidCarer.

Our 2025 #FestiveAppeal is live 💜🧡 This year, help us support more #UnpaidCarers like Selvam from Tamil Nadu, India. Selvam cares for his father Loganathan who had an accident that left him severely injured & barely conscious.

Your support last #FestiveSeason meant that we were able to continue to: 💜 Connect #UnpaidCarers w/ peer support networks 🧡 Improve their access to healthcare 💜 Support their livelihood opportunities 🧡 Open doors to self-care & respite 💜 Strengthen their confidence to advocate for their own rights

On #WorldMentalHealthDay we’re thinking about #UnpaidCarers - mothers, fathers, siblings & others - who look after their loved ones, often without any recognition or support. Supporting their #MentalHealth is crucial. Last week, we explored this in our webinar w/ Catalyst Now 💜🧡

So much depends on how we view unpaid care. When it is seen as family duty, we take it for granted & make it invisible. As a result, #UnpaidCarers become invisible too. Katy Styles, Founder of the We Care Campaign (@wecarecampaign.bsky.social), highlights this in our recent #HumansCare interview.

On #WorldCerebralPalsyDay, we celebrate those with cerebral palsy and the unpaid family carers - mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings - who stand alongside them 💜🧡

Sadly, we sometimes hear from unpaid carers we support, that they face ridicule from their communities and even get told that their work caring for a loved one is 'pointless' 💔 This stigma can stem from lack of awareness and understanding, and limited access to education and healthcare.

Our Carers Worldwide India trustee Aparna Mahajan represented us at the roundtable organised by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry and its youth wing for women under 40. And for the first time, the issues of #UnpaidCarers took centre stage in this national policy discussion 💜🧡

We’re looking forward to our upcoming #webinar with Catalyst Now 💜🧡 If you haven't registered yet, here's the link 👉🏽 bit.ly/46bxLHa Don’t miss it - we hope to see you there! 😊
