💔 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.
