Carers Week

All week on the community, one of our themes is Carers Week. To raise awareness of the needs of carers and promote Carers UK's campaign for Fairer for Carers, we've put together a range of content that celebrates and supports the carers on our community, so why not:
- Tell us something positive about your carer!
- Share a photo of yourself and your carer in our Carers Week photo gallery.
- Read the reshared blog, Meet Adele-Caitlin from young carer @AdeleTaylor.
- Familiarise yourself with our tips for carers, by carers.
- See if you're eligible to receive Carers Allowance.
- Have a look at some top tips for hiring a Personal Assistant.

Thanks to the Scope team for bringing the theme of Carers Week to the fore and featuring all of the above. Hadn't heard of the Fairer for Carers campaign before and just read about it. The Scottish Government have been good enough to recognise the difficult role of Carers up here and put up Carers Allowance recently by an extra £8.50, but it is only fair that other UK carers receiving this benefit get recognised in the same way.
