Reading another Carer's story can remind you that you're not alone. Our Carer Stories share real-life experiences, challenges and successes that many Carers can relate to.

Thank you to the brilliant carers who shared their experiences.

Thank you to all who made this visit to our very own, beautiful Godinton House, possible for local Carers in East Kent.

Our biggest ever carer visit! 🌿

Carers enjoyed some much-needed ‘Green Medicine’ at Godinton House, taking time to recharge and connect.

Huge thanks to @NGSOpenGardens, Godinton House, @CarersEK, @Crossroads_Kent and @Carers_first Medway for making it possible ❤️

Do you or someone you support need urgent access to a toilet while out and about? The Macmillan’s toilet card & key ring help you discreetly request access when out in public. Call our Hub Team on 0300 302 0061 to request yours – while stocks last.

This simple change could make a life-changing difference for young Carers and children affected by a parent's mental illness.

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

Too many children caring for a parent with severe mental illness go unnoticed.

Our amendment of the Mental Health Bill would change that.

Write to your MP today and ask them to back it.

MPs vote next Tuesday. Get involved now to make an impact 👇
