  1. Unpaid #carers show care and compassion for other in their lives - which makes it so wrong that so many are forced to get by on low incomes that don't meet their household needs. This #CarersWeek we want to highlight that injustice, and show our support for a society where no carer is left in poverty.

  6. In this British Society of #Gerontology seminar, CPC-CG member Dr Fei Wang argues that it’s not just about giving more #care, it’s about giving better and more suitable care so people’s needs are fully met. The findings are important to consider as we mark #CarersWeek - if we don’t address undermet care needs, we risk:

    ▫️ Increasing pressure on #unpaidcarers

    ▫️ Worsening #health and #wellbeing outcomes

    ▫️ Higher long-term costs across health and #socialcare

  13. Carers UK has found there are 5.8 million unpaid carers in the UK. More than 42% of unpaid carers are men and 56% of male carers aged 18 to 64, say the role has negatively affected their mental health.

    Where is our voice, when the combined number of Britain's unpaid carers is bigger than all the main political parties combined, and our value is £184bn - a cost equivalent to that of a second NHS.

  17. There are over 5 million unpaid carers in England and Wales, whose efforts supporting loved ones is valued at £184bn - a cost equivalent to that of a second NHS.

    Yet, unpaid carers are often ignored across the UK. Unpaid carers deserve a much brighter future where they are valued and supported by the state, employers and wider community.

  20. CW: Mention of epilepsy, seizures and dangers associated with epilepsy

    Last day of Carers Week and I hope you'll forgive me a personal one. Our daughter's epilepsy is presently not under control, and with that comes a huge amount of fear and hypervigilance
