During Dementia Action Week, we’re sharing real stories that highlight why support for unpaid carers, like Angela must become a priority: "I worry a lot about what would happen if I become ill.” dementiacarers.org.uk/news/w… #DAW2025

What if...I wasn't so terrified of what might happen?

Angela worries a lot about what would happen to her husband if she becomes ill

A dementia carer recently told us "Sandwich caring is extra stressful and no-one recognises it. The impact on my family has been immense. It’s caused lots and lots of family arguments." independent.co.uk/news/uk/go…

‘Sandwich carers’ suffer poorer mental and physical health, research suggests

The average age of the carers – parents of young children who also care for an older relative – studied was around 37.

Are we taking female carers for granted? Almost twice as many men say they can get the support they need when caring for someone with #Dementia Let's #InvestInWomen. #IWD2024
Dementia Carers Count@DemCarersCount8 Mar 2024
📢ALL carers should have equal access to info & support. So why do unpaid female dementia carers access less support from local authorities? This #IWD2024 we're calling for research, to #InvestInWomen and ensure female carers don't feel invisible & alone💙dementiacarers.org.uk/blog/i…

Sunil* was just four when he went to an orphanage. His mum and dad, Lata* and Hari*, were promised it would give him a better future. But they were lied to. We're working across the globe to keep children like Sunil #SafeFromHarm this Christmas 👇🏻 donate.hopeandhomes.org/
