I can relate to Paul here as I too am a full time carer for my wife Louise who has multiple health issues.
I survive on £81 a week and when I mentioned to my car insurance I work part time delivering food it trippled to £291 a month.

A carer doesn’t need a badge, a tag, or a nursing certificate. Sometimes, it’s a sister.

If a carers’ charity can look at someone providing 90+ hrs of care every week & still talk about getting them “into work”, it’s lost sight of the very people it exists to represent. Unpaid care is work.

Great to join @carersuk @carerstrust and @centreforcare at each of their events at @LiberalDemocrat Party Conference in Bournemouth.
Carers provide a remarkable and often unsung service to our nation.
They and those they care for deserve a better and fairer system, let's make it happen.

🌟 21st November was #CarersRightsDay 2024! Recognising the rights of those who selflessly care for others. This year's theme focuses on empowering carers to understand and advocate for their rights. Let's ensure that every carer feels supported and valued! 💙 #CarersUK #SupportCarers
🧵Unpaid carers provide support that is equivalent to 4 million paid care workers. But are these carers getting the support needed to care for their loved ones & themselves? This #CarersRightsDay we look back at our report into caring in a complex world. www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

His 'apology' only sought to highlight how admirable he was to appear at an unpaid event.... 😡
"I was a controversial choice to be the (obviously unpaid) host of the prestigious @CarersUK awards so I’m very happy to stand aside and give someone else the honour of doing it."

Interesting employer perspective from Tim Fassam @PhoenixGroupUK at @CarersUK event Offer 2 weeks paid carers leave. Most don’t use it all. Take up c on 2.5 days. People save it for when really need it. Having it means people stay, reduces recruitment costs. #LabourConference24
