This a crucial call for better recognition and support for young carers and for this to be addressed through better monitoring and inclusion in the #healthandcarebill @profsaulbecker @LauraBWork @MusclesHello @HelenLeadbitter @KeeleyMP @JaniceClark6 @TimAnfilogoff @CarersUK
The Health and Care Bill currently before parliament must take in to account the needs of #youngcarers. @SYC_YoungCarers have led on a YC charter created by YCs on what they need from this bill. Contact us or Surrey for a copy! #makingitrealforyoungcarers #MIRFYC @CarolineLucas

We wrapped on #HelloMusclesFilm on Sunday, and I could not be more proud of the whole cast and crew... this quote feels more apt than it ever was, for the film, and for the process. #youngcarers #shortfilm
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom..."

We're calling for caring to be made the 10th protected characteristic, as too often carers feel invisible, are overlooked, and discriminated against. This will be one strand of our ambitious new strategy for carers, to be launched in April 2021. More here: carersuk.org/news-and-campai…

We need to make sure the government know the true extent of caring in the UK. If you care for someone, tick question 24 on your census form and help us ensure unpaid carers are officially recognised #CountCarersIn
