☕️💚 Brave Brew — A little moment for you 💚☕️

This Parent Carer Awareness Day, we’re asking our whole community to join us for a Brave Brew.

Self-care is personal and looks different for everyone. It doesn’t have to mean a spa day, a weekend away or finding hours of free time.

For parent carers, sometimes self-care can be as simple as taking five minutes to make a brew, sit down and enjoy it while it’s still hot! ☕️

That little moment represents something much bigger:

☕️ Taking time for yourself.
☕️ Giving yourself permission to pause.
☕️ Remembering that you matter too.

💚 So this Parent Carer Awareness Day, make yourself a brew and take a moment that is just for you. 💚

📸 Don’t forget to share a photo of you enjoying your Brave Brew — or just a photo of your brew! The most important thing is that you take those few minutes of time for you. 📸

And you don’t even have to be a parent carer to join in!

We want our whole community — friends, family, colleagues, supporters, businesses and anyone who wants to stand alongside parent carers — to be part of our Brave Brew Crew! 💚

By sharing your Brave Brew, you’re helping us raise awareness of parent carers and the incredible amount they do every single day, whilst showing that self-care can start with something as simple as taking a few minutes for yourself.

📱 Don’t have social media? No problem!

You can still be part of the Brave Brew Crew. Simply email your photo to us and we’ll share it on our social media, helping your brew become part of our big awareness campaign.

🫖🍰 Why not even host a Brave Brew Tea Time with friends, family, colleagues or your community and help raise funds for Brave Parents?

Tag Brave Parents and use so we can see your photos and help spread the message far and wide.

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential. 💚

We were recently contacted by a Youth Support Coordinator working with Teenage Cancer Trust , who told us about the incredible parents they meet every day.

Many of these parent carers spend weeks, and sometimes months, in hospital alongside their child while they undergo cancer treatment.

We sent a collection of our Hospital Brave Boxes to the team, so they can support parent carers who find themselves spending prolonged periods in hospital with their children.

Our Hospital Brave Boxes are a small reminder that the parent matters too. When so much focus naturally has to be on their child, we want to give parent carers a moment to pause, breathe and feel cared for themselves.

We were incredibly touched that the team got in touch with us after seeing the work Brave Parents does and even more grateful for the opportunity to reach more families through their service.

We were delighted to receive another request from the wonderful Play Specialists at UCLH Children’s Radiology and Proton Beam Therapy departments for more of our Brave Boxes.

After our initial donation, the team got back in touch to ask if we could provide another batch of our unisex Brave Boxes for parent carers whose children are accessing treatment and appointments within the departments.

Of course, we were so happy to help!

Each Brave Box contains thoughtful self-care items to encourage a little moment of rest, comfort and kindness during what can be an incredibly challenging time for families.

It means so much to know that our boxes are being requested again and are reaching more parent carers when they need that support most.

A huge thank you to the UCLH Play Specialists for the incredible work they do for families and for recognising the importance of supporting the parent carer too.

We’re proud to continue working alongside healthcare teams to remind parent carers that they are seen, valued and not forgotten.

We were delighted to be contacted by Haven House Children’s Hospice Haven House Children’s Hospice, who asked if we could provide Brave Boxes for the parent carers they support.

Haven House provides specialist care for seriously ill babies and children up to the age of 18, while supporting the whole family through some of the most difficult times. Their care extends from the hospice into the home and local community, helping families from the point of diagnosis and throughout their journey.

As a charity dedicated to supporting parent carers, we were very pleased to be able to respond to their request and send 25 Brave Boxes to Haven House.

Each box has been put together with the parent carer in mind, providing a few thoughtful treats and a reminder that their own wellbeing matters too.

We are proud to have the opportunity to support the wonderful work of Haven House and the families they care for.
