“You all do such a lovely job, thank you so much… I have really enjoyed the chat just now and we will come to the coffee groups in the new year.”

Sometimes it’s not just about support it’s about feeling welcome, listened to, and part of something again.

A conversation can turn into connection.
A bit of support can lead to confidence.
And a first chat can be the start of something bigger ☕

If you’re caring for someone and wondering if this kind of support is for you come and see what we’re about. We’d love to meet you 💛

Are you an unpaid carer who works as well as cares?
Balancing work and caring responsibilities isn't always easy. From managing appointments and emergencies to finding time for yourself, carers often face challenges that employers may not see.
The Government is seeking views on employment rights for unpaid carers and wants to hear directly from people with lived experience.
By sharing your experiences, you can help shape future workplace support and make a difference for carers across the UK.
🗓️ The consultation closes on 1 September 2026
👉 Share your views here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/make-work-pay-employment-rights-for-unpaid-carers-and-parents-of-seriously-ill-children
💙 Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with carers in your network.

We are seeking views on the employment rights that are available to people with unpaid caring responsibilities and parents who have a seriously ill child.

Do you care for someone?

If you support a family member, friend or neighbour, your voice could help shape the future of adult social care.

The Big Conversation on Care is asking people across England:

“When we are old or disabled, or have a serious illness, who should support us and how?”

You can share your ideas, vote on other people’s suggestions and help make sure carers’ experiences are heard.
