📣 This week is , 8th–14th June

Carers Week is a national campaign that celebrates the incredible contribution of unpaid carers. It’s also an opportunity to raise awareness and help people who may not recognise themselves as carers to access the support they need.

🗣️ At Lead the Way, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports someone with a learning disability. Caring often means providing more than day-to-day help — it can include supporting communication, advocating for the right services, attending appointments, and helping someone live as independently and fully as possible.

We know that caring for someone with a learning disability can be both rewarding and challenging, and too often carers’ own needs are overlooked. This week is about recognising the vital role you play, shining a light on your experiences, and making sure your voice is heard.

By raising awareness, we can help build more understanding, inclusive communities where carers feel valued, supported and able to access the help they deserve.

🕒 Today is the deadline to submit evidence to the Government’s Timms Review.

We’re proud to share that Cloverleaf Advocacy has submitted our evidence, shaped by the voices of people we support. This includes insights gathered through peer and self-advocacy groups, as well as one-to-one interviews with neurodivergent people, people with learning disabilities, people with mental ill-health, and unpaid carers.

The Timms Review is an independent review looking at how the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system can be improved, with a focus on making it fairer and more accessible for those who rely on it.

Cloverleaf Advocacy’s CEO, Suzi Henderson, said: “PIP is a lifeline for many of the people we support. While we understand the current system may not be perfect and there may be a minority who misuse it, removing this support or creating further barriers to people who already often feel marginalised could have a devastating impact on those who genuinely rely on it. We hope the Timms Review carefully considers the evidence we have shared and uses it to create a system that is fairer, more accessible and truly reflects the real experiences of people it is designed to support.”

📄 Read our Timms Review evidence here: https://cloverleaf-advocacy.co.uk/resources/campaigns/

Submit your own evidence here by midnight tonight: https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/timms-review-of-personal-independence-payment-call-for-evidence/timms-review-of-personal-independence-payment-call-for-evidence
