Last month, we held a party to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Members of our carer support and mental health groups enjoyed a spread of delicious food, exciting games, and henna painting!

It was a great opportunity to celebrate together in a warm, welcoming environment, with attendees saying:

💬 “It was such a lovely event and everyone was so welcoming.”
💬 “It was nice to relax and celebrate Eid with others who understand each other.”
💬 “The atmosphere was amazing and I would love more events like this.”

Thank you to everyone who attended! 💚

This year’s theme is building carer-friendly communities. At Carers Count, we deliver a wide range of projects and services that help make our communities more carer-friendly, including:

↪️ Our Carers Count Employers project, supporting employers to better understand unpaid carers in the workforce and how to effectively support them. Read about it here: https://f.mtr.cool/rkuqpvsoph

↪️ Our work with GP surgeries and healthcare professionals across Kirklees, Calderdale and Barnsley, raising awareness of unpaid carers and the support available to them.

There are so many ways we can support you – so you don’t have to continue your caring journey alone.

🕒 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.”

Here are some photos from our recent walk along Brighouse Canal! We really enjoyed being together in nature and soaking up the sunshine. 🔆

We'd like to thank Active Calderdale for their generous support for our Time to Breathe project, which gives unpaid carers a chance to take some time for themselves and improve their physical and mental wellbeing through activities like these walks.
