During April Carers UK are supporting unpaid carers to get moving and embrace the benefits of physical activity.

No matter your routine, they have something for everyone—from walking and yoga to simple exercises you can do at home. 💜

#ActiveForApril

Today, we're shining a light on ways to help reduce stress 🌞

Some early sunlight can boost your mood and enhance your sleep quality at night. If you can, taking a walk first thing in the morning provides both sunlight and exercise. ☀️ 🚶

During #StressAwarenessMonth how do we reach beyond the Echo Chamber of advice to those among us who are caring for somebody living with dementia?

Our ask of you this month is to reach out to someone who is caring for someone with dementia and really listen to them. 💜

Millions of #UnpaidCarers have been granted new employment rights as the #Carers LeaveAct came into force last week, enabling carers to take up to 5 days unpaid leave each year.

But does the new legislation go far enough?

Are you caring for someone living with #dementia ? Your well-being is crucial too. Recognise signs of stress: #poorsleep , #exhaustion , #anxiety . 🛌 🧠 It's important to seek help. Your health matters as much as your care.

#StressAwarenessMonth #SelfCare #CaregiverSupport

As a #caregiver , recognising the common signs of #stress is important for managing your own health and well-being.

Stress can manifest in various ways, and these signs can be physical, emotional, behavioural, and cognitive.
