Nearly half of unpaid carers feel their role is not understood and valued by their community.

Today we launch our Building Carer Friendly Communities report. It explores carers’ experiences and sets out the action needed, by the Government and by communities across the UK, to bring about greater recognition and support for unpaid carers.

Carers Week is made possible through Carers UK working together with six other major charities: Age UK Carers Trust The Lewy Body Society ME Association MND Association and Rethink Mental Illness

Today is International Nurses' Day. In the UK, nurses are as diversified as they come. Definitely something to celebrate! The UK Chinese communities are very fortunate to have their own Cantonese and Mandarin speaking Admiral Nurse Dementia Clinic, a now permanent service first experimented as a two-year pilot co-managed by CWT and Dementia UK. After a year-long maternity leave taken by our very first Admiral Nurse Emily, the Clinic will soon be relaunched and she will be joined by the second Chinese-speaking Admiral Nurse Kay. More details on the relaunch will be publicised soon, so watch this space!
