CONFIRMED: Good news. The Carers Allowance earnings threshold will be increased from £151 to at least £181 in the #Budget tomorrow, starting April 2025. So carers can earn more and still receive the allowance.

The room quickly felt smaller with so many people coming together. It was great to see the children busy with activities like painting, colouring, reading, and getting their hair braided…

In the world.
Ever.
Rachel says: “I won’t be the last.”
