Parkinson's Awareness Week 2024: Uniting in Understanding and Support 🌟

This week, we shine a spotlight on Parkinson's, a journey walked by many yet understood by too few. Parkinson's Awareness Week is more than a campaign; it's a global movement towards empathy, education, and empowerment for those living with Parkinson's and the incredible network of carers supporting them.

💔 Urgent Support Needed for Young Carers 💔

The new '21 hour rule' is placing our young carers in an impossible position, forcing them to choose between their education and their essential caregiving roles. This policy restricts those studying more than 21 hours a week from receiving Carer's Allowance, severely impacting their ability to complete A Levels, BTECs, and T Levels.

We must advocate for policies that support, not hinder, the aspirations and responsibilities of the 600,000+ young carers in the UK.
This simply isn’t good enough for the youngsters that already sacrifice so much for others! Let’s join together to support our young carers at We Talk Care where every voice matters.

If celebrity Kate Garraway struggled to afford her late husband’s care, what hope is there for the rest of us?

In the recently aired documentary, the TV presenter highlights the fact that state-funded social care is only available to people with the highest needs and the lowest means, so what happens to those of us that fall somewhere in between?

Join us at We Talk Care as we discuss these fundamental problems in the UK social care system. 💙
