💜 We Hear You Last year: ❤️‍🩹 9 in 10 carers reached crisis ❤️‍🩹 3 in 4 had no backup plan ❤️‍🩹 Most had too little support Its your turn to share your caring experiences - the 2025 Carer Survey is LIVE! 👉 : ow.ly/bIR150WZZRR

Our brokers Danny & Davin took on Tough Mudder this weekend 💪 They’ve already raised £3,800 for @dementiacarers.bsky.social, funding around 72 hours of counselling for those who care for loved ones with dementia. Help us hit £5k 👉 www.justgiving.com/page/dementi... #CharityChallenge #ToughMudder

We welcome research into improving dementia diagnosis, but investment in this must be matched by investment in care and support for families after a dementia diagnosis. Too many carers are left feeling invisible, overwhelmed and alone after a diagnosis. dementiacarers.org.uk/news/we-need...

💙 1 in 2 of us will become a dementia carer or need care. We’re raising £5k for @dementiacarers.bsky.social and we’re already at £3,725 thanks to 125 supporters This month, our own Danny & Davin take on #ToughMudder to help us smash the target Chip in or share: www.justgiving.com/page/dementi...

Close your eyes and let your mind create an image of a #carer. Chances are the carer you have in your mind is a #woman. On International Women's Day we share findings from our survey to highlight the challenges female #dementia carers face🔗 dementiacarers.org.u...#carer.#woman.#dementia#IWD25

As #InternationalWomensDay approaches, we ask 'What if... every woman felt supported in their caring role?' 73% of #dementia carers didn’t choose to become #carers, and for women it jumps to 81%. Yet, female carers are less likely to receive support. Read more 👉 dementiacarers.org.u...#InternationalWomensDay#dementia#carers,#IWD25
