Across countries & cultures, unpaid carers describe the same reality: care becomes a constant part of daily life often w/ little guidance or support. These shared experiences were discussed on the #CareFullyConsidered podcast by @wecarecampaign.bsky.social featuring our Dev. Director Ruth Patil 💜🧡

No pressure to reply. Just a reminder we’re here.

We Care exists so carers don’t have to explain themselves. There's a shorthand when you're carers too.

We’re stepping into the festive period knowing it can be harder for carers. What makes it harder for you? Lack of support, expectations, everyones out of office on?

Autumn always brings rising prices. For #UnpaidCarers, every penny already counts. When you’re running on empty, higher heating bills are unwelcome.  Carers deserve more than warm words. We deserve a system that doesn’t rely on our struggle. 💛 #RunningOnEmpty #VisibleAndValued #WeCareCampaign 🧵1/2

Oh yes, can go on about this at length. My council will only fund things that make for a press opportunity, like hiring a bus to go around telling us about our rights. Actually ask for our rights, ask for the support people actually need... silence. If I hear the say "coproduction" one more time...

@wecarecampaign.bsky.social @carers-uk.bsky.social I would really like commissioners in adult social care to acknowledge the needs of unpaid carers, such as parents who look after adult children. They don’t seem to understand that unpaid carers also have bills to pay.

Parliament’s about to return—but for unpaid carers, there’s no “summer recess.” The Sayce Review into Carer’s Allowance overpayments is expected soon. It could be a turning point. Carers shouldn’t be punished or pushed into poverty for caring. 🧵 Here are this week’s key reads & actions ⬇️ 1/3

💥 #TakeActionTuesday 💥 Parliament's back. let's remind MPs about Clinically Vulnerable people. - keep covid boosters This year only those aged 75 years or are living in a care home are eligible for a covid booster. ✍️ Sign the petition here

A day in the life of an unpaid carer might look like: • 6am meds • 2 loads of laundry • Calls to the GP • Chasing a broken care package • No break • No thanks #RunningOnEmpty #UnpaidCarers

Parliament's back today. But unpaid carers? We never left. While decision makers were on recess, we were still caring - round the clock. 💬 What do you wish MPs would understand about your reality this week? #VisibleAndValued #UnpaidCarers
