@lesley_dixon @PSSpeople This was great @lesley_dixon , I especially enjoyed the risotto analogy! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and thoughts.

This #CarersWeek I’ve written a few thoughts from my own experience. This is not something I’ve shared publicly before but this week I felt compelled to share, knowing that my story is not new or unique to me, but shared by the 5 million #carers in the uk.

[Bromley Mencap @BromleyMencap]

It's #CarersWeek and our CEO Anna McEwen has written a blog to raise awareness of the invaluable contributions unpaid carers make.
Anna shares her own lived experience as a carer, reflecting on the daily challenges many face when caring for a loved one.

It's #CarersWeek!

Carers Week has come at an important time with the #GeneralElection very soon.

The nation's devoted carers have been pushed to the limit, and they need and deserve the next Government to finally support them.

Workforce retention in social care - possibly our biggest challenge and even got a mention in those 36 seconds of the leaders debate. I’m looking forward to introducing this session with @Cohesiontalk at the @VODGmembership conference today.

[Cohesion @Cohesiontalk]

Looking forward to the @VODGmembership Annual Conference in Birmingham next week!

If you're attending on 6th June, why not join our workshop at 1.30 pm - where we'll be discussing how providers can positively impact workforce retention?

@auntiesocial73 I can’t believe this, I am so sad and angry

[V O D G @VODGmembership]

This #GeneralElection must be as accessible as possible or risk isolating millions of voters.

We’re backing calls by VODG members for manifestos to be in Easy Read and other accessible formats, and for speeches and announcements to have a British Sign Language interpreter.

[Anna McEwen @annamce4]

@Crouchendtiger7 @nmcnews So sorry to hear this Andrea. You’ve inspired so many people, including myself. I will always remember the first CQC workshop I came to thinking who is the awesome woman in the converse!
Sending all good wishes for your surgery and recovery.

[Anna McEwen @annamce4]

@AislingDuffy_ @mndassoc Amazing. Good luck @AislingDuffy_ enjoy it!

Ahead of the #SpringBudget we are calling on @Jeremy_Hunt to prioritise disabled people. This must include funding for #localgov to cover the full cost of services and National Living Wage increases.

Without this, essential services will cease to exist.

[Sarah Woodhouse @sarahw00dh0use]

To ignore #socialcare and the funding needed by local government and the charities they commission, is to fail millions of people.

We are calling on The Chancellor to ensure disabled people of all ages are a priority in tomorrow’s #SpringBudget ⬇️

📢 87% of organisations say they are subsidising their government grants and contracts.

This has been an issue for decades – but the impact can’t be avoided any longer.

Ahead of next week’s #Budget2024, you can help raise awareness around the issue by sharing our infographic 👇

[Anna McEwen @annamce4]

I’m thrilled with my new tapestry ‘State of Grace’ by @billyscraps from @HeadwayELondon . She’s now hanging in pride of place next to my home office desk and I’m loving her sparkly pink cardigan ❤️
