Caring about Equality “Age is just a number, until you care for someone with Young Onset Dementia & find that age becomes a barrier to accessing any support services that exist”. Powerful words from Gillian on the inequalities she faces. #CarersWeek2025 👇 bit.ly/4jLGMtX

Today #CarersWeek is focussed is on carers’ financial wellbeing. Caring can have a huge impact on people’s finances. It’s unacceptable that 1.2 million carers are in poverty, with 400,000 in deep poverty. This must change. Read our report to find out more:go.carersuk.org/CW2025report?u…

59% of respondents receiving Carer’s Allowance said they were struggling to make ends meet. This is the reality for thousands of unpaid carers. Let’s change it. #CarersVoices #UnpaidCarers

Read Elaine’s story 👉 pulse.ly/6mtbh3oxms “Carers everywhere are in similar situations, which is why I campaign. The care system is broken, families need support and carers should not be penalised for caring for someone they love” #CaringaboutEquality #CarersWeek2025

“Anne's Law which we have campaigned for, along with many others to ensure that the trauma so many families experienced during the pandemic will not happen again. This law recognises that we continue to be carers, not just visitors but we are part of the care team” #CarersRights

Caring for someone can be very rewarding, but it also comes with its challenges — and you don’t have to face them alone. We asked carers to share their advice and tips for caring not just for someone with dementia, but also for themselves too. #CarersWeek

“Being a carer can mean taking on so many different roles, and you have to constantly be there representing your loved one. It can be overwhelming but I learned how important it was to accept help when it was offered, thanks for sharing Winnie 💜 #CarersWeek2025

Ever wondered what happens after you donate your brain to science? 🧠   Brain donation plays a vital role in helping scientists understand diseases like Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Scotland is sleepwalking into a dementia care crisis – and we must act now. Vital community services that support tens of thousands of people with dementia, their families and carers are being cut across the country. [🧵 1/5]

Every small cut adds up to the decimation of dementia services. We’re calling on MSPs, councils and the Scottish Government to: ❌ Stop the cuts ✅ Protect dementia services ✅ Build a national, consistent standard of care - and end the postcode lottery for good [🧵 4/5]
