It’s . Siblings are often overlooked. Many are young carers for their disabled brother or sister. Sometimes it’s really hard as they struggle with the demands, both emotional and practical. We must never forget the needs of siblings.

Delighted to see highlighted and celebrated today on

In our community, brothers and sisters are often voices we don't hear, but they play incredibly important roles in their disabled sibling's life. Share your story!

The Carer’s Leave Act 2023 is now law!

Securing these new rights for working carers was the result of many years of campaigning and has opened up more possibilities for carers who are employed to stay in, or return to, work.

Another added complication to carers life is that most of the time, Carers' Allowance is the qualifying factor between getting financial support or not.

So you may be struggling, somehow still holding down a job and then get refused any kind of support.

Carers allowance is now £81.90 a week

Eligibility rules are complex and designed to make you fail.

It’s no wonder carers fall foul of them.

Add to which DWP are not flagging quickly enough individuals who earn over earning threshold, then prosecuting them, it’s unforgivable
