Keeping it real. Unpaid carers often dont have a choice. Dont get time to recover. Dont get time to process whats happened or happening. It is messy, painful and bitter sweet.

Amazing week! Thank you to everyone at ASPH for all of your support and dedication! So much exciting stuff happening around unpaid carer support!

Keeping it real. Unpaid caring is relentless & draining. Lose autonomy, forget to care for yourself cause you are exhausted. Lose connections, friends, & question your beliefs. Unpaid carers are the backbone of the NHS and Social Care. #CarersWeek2023 Ashford & St Peter's Action for Carers
Todayโs #SpringStatement does little to address the huge challenges unpaid carers are facing.
The government has once again overlooked unpaid carers for targeted financial support & there was no additional funding for social care.
This canโt continue. Carers need more support๐งต

The situation for unpaid carers is worse than ever. Everything feels like box-ticking. We need action. 'Boots' on the ground, more funding, mental health support & carers to be recognised as professionals. Enough is enough! #Hellomynameis Debbie (she/her) Diana_Sheridan ๐๐๐ฝ๐ Action for Carers
Important to remind our kiddos that SATS do not define them. It is Mental Health Awareness Week. Our kids mental health is far more important than SAT results #EveryMindMatters Action for Carers @asph JacMac Diana_Sheridan ๐๐๐ฝ๐ Appeer - #autisticgirls&women #Hellomynameis Debbie (she/her) Charlotte Broughton Ellen Bull
