Today #CarersWeek focuses on young carers. There are over 150,000 young carers aged 5-17 in the UK. Many children and young people face disadvantages because of their caring role, impacting their health, education and future careers. go.carersuk.org/CW2025report…

Nearly half of UK adults with caring experience say their health has been impacted since they began caring. Today we launch our Caring About Equality report, highlighting the staggering number of unpaid carers struggling with their own health and wellbeing.go.carersuk.org/CW2025report…

The benefits system is unfair. But it’s not for the reasons the Prime Minister suggests. It’s unfair that disabled people have to fight for the right outcome. It’s unfair that disabled people still face extra costs, even after receiving benefits.

When we think of disability, we often picture visible conditions, but 80% of disabilities are not outwardly apparent. 🌻💜 Invisible disabilities, like chronic pain, mental health conditions, and neurodivergence, can make it harder to get the right help. #InvisibleDisabilties

A piece I filmed with @ITV about inaccessible chiller cabinets airs tonight at 6pm. As someone who has broken both shoulders this is a painful, frustrating trial. Chiller doors elsewhere that are spring loaded are just impossible. #DisabledByTheSupermarkets

The National Disability & Carers Card Scheme is excellent and of enormous help with its high visibility. When out and about, wearing my National Disability Card was helpful, drawing attention to getting me support when on my own one day at @marksandspencer Preston. A young chap asked if I wanted a till opened when he noticed my card and, in some stress, approaching the self-service tills and struggling. He asked me if I wanted a checkout opened and got another staff member to open the till. Kind, helpful and friendly staff. Bruv has his National Carers Card for when he's with me, which will hopefully help when going through airports. The online application and process were easy; both applications were processed and sent out quickly with my Radar key.
Our NEW website for the National Disability Card is here, along with 250+ offers & discounts from our incredible partners! As a valued card holder, you can now log in using your unique card number to access a growing range of exclusive offers. Log in here: ow.ly/2htw50U6jjn

The National Disability Card may not be government-issued, but it’s a valuable tool for individuals with disabilities. Including mine - it made my swimming adventure possible! #NDC #accessibility #disabilityrights #NDC #inclusion #NDC @Disability_ID

Chloe wants people to speak to her in the same way as anyone else. #AskDontAssume encourages everyone to listen to disabled people and ask them what they want or need, instead of making assumptions. Co-developed with disabled people like Chloe: askdontassume.campaign.gov.u…

If you're disabled or have a long-term illness, the Government says you shouldn't be charged VAT on items designed or adapted for your personal use. Use our tips to check where you, or someone you might know or care for, could save, like Dave: moneysavingexpert.com/family… #IWDP

I want to say a massive thank you for @Disability_ID for sending me one of these. It's going to make life a lot easier for me. It’s incredible difficult when people don’t understand that you're disabled and have a disability. 💜 – at West Midlands, England
