Thread 🧵
This week is #CarersWeek2023. But caring does not stop when Carers Week ends.
The Government must urgently bring forward a long-term strategy informed by carers & supported at the highest levels of Government.
We cannot continue to leave carers without proper support.
5/5

We talk a lot about what being a carer means to each of us. Some of us don't even like the label but use it because we have to so we can access services and support.
What do you think about the label?

We have had lots of conversations about how we understand the experiences of giving and receiving care. This quote is from one of our Tea and Cake group meeting where we talked a lot about labels.
What does 'carer' mean to you?
