Carers support other carers

Too many words...

I see you.

#CarersWeek #RealCarersWeek

It’s Carers Awareness week and my timelines are full of friends sharing their stories of being a carer, hoping that this year’s hashtag will make a difference, whilst knowing it probably won’t.

This year, I’d like to tell you the difference carers make to me. I know through being one myself that we are often unseen but what we do see is each other. This is a journey only we know and we share experiences of love, frustration, heartbreak, exhaustion, empathy and the constant fight for inclusion, access and acceptance – not to mention basic human rights.

Many of my friends are carers, as well as the wonderful paid carers that support Brody, and I would be lost without them. Carers support carers. We look out for each other. We are there for each another. We get each other. We fight for each other. We care for each other.

Carers are selfless, kind and the best tonic for other carers – despite being drained by society and the system.

I see you. I bloody love you. I know the difference you truly make. And I’m grateful that you exist.

We’ve just registered our 2,600th UK Changing Places toilet!

It’s a big step toward toilet equality, and while there’s more to do, we’re proud of how far we’ve come.

Thank you to everyone supporting the #ChangingPlaces campaign!

PAMIS and family carers had a great media training session with the brilliant Heather Suttie in Stirling yesterday. Empowering carers to share their stories helps drive change, support, and awareness. Huge thanks to Heather and all who took part!
