Today @CarersUK sent a letter to @rishisunak, calling for more support for unpaid carers. Carers have been caring around the clock without access to their usual support. The Government must recognise them in the budget, by introducing a £20 week supplement on Carer's Allowance
Our telephone support/training for unpaid carers is really popular. You choose the course, dates and times that suit you and get personalised one to one support.
We have spaces for January and February 2021. They are filling up quickly , book now to avoid disappointment.
Carers UK are running a short poll on the experiences of carers at Christmas. The more information you give them, the better they are able to build a comprehensive picture of how carers’ lives are going to be impacted by the pandemic this Christmas.
