@DebbieHustings @CarersSurrey @ASPHFT @RishiSunak @michelle You understand this journey all too well 🧡 It is a privilege to do what we do...my Dad was so proud of me and I know he had so much admiration for unpaid carers. Big hugs lovely lady 🧡

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. We are the backbone of the NHS & social care @CarersSurrey @ASPHFT @DebbieHustings @RishiSunak @michelle

[🌈Sam (she / her / hers) @samcares3]

@CarersSurrey Wonderful work guys! 💙

[🌈Sam (she / her / hers) @samcares3]

@ASPHFT @CarersSurrey @HW_Surrey What a fabulous week! 💜

[🌈Sam (she / her / hers) @samcares3]

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 @ASPHFT @CarersSurrey

@bbcquestiontime why does the government keep ignoring unpaid carers that save the economy billions? These are human beings that are being pushed into crisis!

@MichellesBall @SYC_YoungCarers @ASPHFT @CarersSurrey @EllenBull2 @JimmyNurseNotts @Charlottevb73 @AsphDementia Loved our time together raising awareness for these special human beings! Looking forward to seeing you soon I hope 🧡 Thank you

@CarersUK Agree! Unpaid carers are being forced to sit in the wildfire which our government has deliberately ignored once again. This will force even more individuals and families into catastrophic dire circumstances...I didn't think it could get any worse. Unpaid carers deserve better!

[Carers UK @CarersUK]

Today’s #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 can’t continue. Carers need more support🧵

See you in Valhalla Dad ❤ I love you
@CarersSurrey thank you for the incredible support. @EllenBull2 @andrealewisRRC @CharlotteRowbo4 @jacqui_mac @SurfingEm thank you for your kindness
@PAHospice thank you for being by our side & keeping Dad comfy. Unpaid Caring is painful.

[🌈Sam (she / her / hers) @samcares3]

@andy_mcgowan No surprises. Over a year waiting for MH support for my daughter. CAMHS waiting list is the reason she cannot access support. In the interim the LA and CAMHS refuse to fund any external services. It is a disgrace
