"It is astonishing that today’s Queen’s Speech did not contain the promised Employment Bill, honouring the manifesto commitment to bring forward measures to support unpaid carers trying to juggle caring and working."

1/2 Unpaid #carers would be hugely let down if the government postpones legislation to give carers rights to unpaid leave and better flexible working. Our research found almost half of carers had to give up work to care, and 15% had to reduce their hours thetimes.co.uk/article/fa1bf…

#YoungCarersActionDay is today addressing the isolation experienced by young/young adult carers. Having the right support - such as breaks from caring - can be really beneficial, giving them a better chance of succeeding in all parts of their lives: lnkd.in/d93keUAR

Very exciting, one of our Young Carers are filming with @CarersTrust today regarding Young Carers and employment 😃🙌🏼
Such a pleasure talking to @CostainGroup, great to see an employer support #unpaidcarers and invite us to raise awareness of #youngcarers #youngadultcarers
Today we presented to @CostainGroupPLC, who work on the North-East’s major highway improvements. With their Parenting and Carers’ Network we explored the role of #UnpaidCarers & why friends/allies are important. Great to build a partnership and work together to make a difference.
