We're proud to be supporting #CarersWeek 2026!
This year’s theme is Building Carer Friendly Communities and from 8-14 June we'll explore how to build communities that make a real and lasting difference to the lives of carers.

🔎 What today's poverty report from Joseph Rowntree Foundation said about carers:
🔹38% of carers caring for more than 35 hours a week are in poverty
🔹1 in 4 working age carers live in poverty
🔹Carers more likely to live in poverty than the general population
Poverty is deepening.
🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.
People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.
This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Welcome coverage of young carers in the latest @PrivateEyeNews. At least 2 in every class, many providing high or very high levels of care — and still largely invisible to systems meant to support them. 👏

Mental Health Act is now law!
Reform must recognise unpaid carers & #youngcarers.
The @CarersTrust Triangle of Care team, working with 24 mental health trusts, are 80% through co-production to embed PCREF into #TriangleofCare
this is how change happens.

A child shouldn’t pay for their parent’s crime. A 16yo left to care for his 8yo brother, unsupported, is neglect. Children of prisoners must be identified & supported. #ItWasntMe

Thank you so much to all the carers who sent in photos for our #ProtestFromHome, telling us the one thing they'd do if they could take a break.
So powerful to see these on big screens in Westminster yesterday.

A full circle moment to return to the @NHSEngland #CommitmentToCarers conference to give the key note today.
Sharing my journey as a Carer Champion and the work continuing in @WYpartnership @MayorOfWY @WestYorkshireCA to continue to support our #UnpaidCarers

The future is brighter with emerging leaders like Dominic Carter @CarersTrust, who today powerfully spoke about putting carers at the heart of the 10-year NHS Plan—and the urgent need for a national carers strategy. 👏 @nhsThinkcarer #carers #NHS @SPMBARA @RachelGarton7

Deep respect to the NHSE Commitment to Carers team—facing uncertain futures yet still delivering an inspirational conference. Your passion, integrity & unwavering focus on carers leave a powerful legacy. You’ve shaped national work and inspired many. Thank you. 💙 @NHSThinkCarer

My big takeaway from the 9th NHSE Commitment to Carers Conference: real optimism. Despite many challenges, a new wave of talented, fearless carers leads is emerging—and they won’t be silenced. You are the future of the movement, and we applaud you! 👏 @NHSThinkCarer @SPMBARA

Proud to share new @RainbowTrustCC briefings for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, with its theme of community, on the #loneliness families of seriously ill children face, and what govt must do to help.

So vital that the families of children with a terminal or life-threatening illness are not faced with further anxiety & stress by potentially punitive changes to our welfare system
Rainbow Trust’s Chief Executive, @ZillahBingley, said:
“Today’s Spring Statement was a missed opportunity to recognise the daily pressures faced by families caring for a child with a terminal or life-threatening illness.
