Skip to the loo? Easier said than done as Britain loses hundreds of public toilets. Cash-strapped councils have closed a fifth of conveniences, leaving some people with no choice but to stay close to home. Chaminda Jayanetti, Guardian 14/11/21 https://t.co/GskYn01Izo @SPICnews

The Commissioner’s latest State of the Nation report highlighted that 80% of unpaid carers are providing more care now than before the pandemic began.
It’s more important than ever that carers are aware of their rights, and the support available.
