✍️ Health Spokespeople from the largest parties in @niassembly have written to @healthdpt calling for the immediate design of a new NI Carers Strategy. Our last strategy is nearly 20 years old & carers are crying out for a new strategic approach to deliver the help they need. 1/2

It’s great to see @CarersUK and TENA working together to raise awareness of caring and encourage better understanding of what it’s like to care for a family member or friend. There’s no pain like it, no joy like it – but ultimately #NoLoveLikeIt

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.

The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

@NASA A bit windy here this evening. If I'd a kite, I might have made it to the moon! 🙂

NI Children's Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma @ShriekingGreek cries when asked at an Assembly committee how the Stormont crisis will affect mental health services for young people.

Says funding rise from £2.5m p/a to £7m by 2025 was dependent on Exec agreeing a three year budget.

“When I started caring, I had to change my whole concept and admit I needed help.” Michael cares for his daughter, who has complex needs. Read how he learned to seek support in our guide, supported by @Masonic_Charity and the @LondonMasons: https://t.co/O9Dulr1vpo

@alghrani Have a coffee and read and think about something you think might be interesting which serves no goal whatsoever beyond itself

That decision makes no sense at all. Without unpaid carers continuing to deliver unpaid care the health and social care system will collapse.

[Carers UK @CarersUK]

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation has not included unpaid carers in its priority list for the COVID-19 vaccine. We think carers should be included urgently - see our statement here: https://t.co/J0arSJrdTK
