It was a pleasure to join some of Inverclyde's unpaid carers at Inverclyde Carers Centre during #CarersWeek2023 .
Thanks to all the carers and staff who shared their stories with me and showed the importance of supporting carers during this week and beyond.
Today I met with unpaid carers at the #CarersWeek drop-in event in parliament. They spoke about the challenges they face, including the toll caring takes on their own wellbeing, and the difficulty of balancing work & care.
Carers contribute so much. It’s vital they’re supported.
Tonight we made time for our Young Carers.
We had a curry, chat & games attended by staff, management & local councillors.

12,000 people in the UK become carers every day. That’s roughly 500 people an hour, and 8 people a minute.
Our new #CarersRightsDay research reveals the huge number of people who become carers.
It’s vital these people are identified, know their rights and can get support. 🧵👇
