🌟 Carers Rights Day 2025 - A Day of Awareness & Support 🌟

Today, we were proud to attend the Know Your Rights, Use Your Rights workshop hosted by Wirral Carers Alliance, as part of Carers Rights Day. It was a fantastic day filled with valuable information and support for unpaid carers across Wirral.

Our CEO, David Maguire, delivered an insightful talk on Carers Rights, sharing the results from the recent survey we conducted with local carers. It was great to reflect on the challenges faced by unpaid carers and how we can continue to advocate for their rights 📝

Thank you to Wirral Carers Alliance for hosting this important event and to all the local organisations who came together to raise awareness and offer support. It was inspiring to see so many unpaid carers come out to learn more and connect with vital resources ♥️

Together, we can ensure that carers' voices are heard and their rights are upheld. 💙

📣Your words can change the future of dementia care. There's still time to share your experiences in our annual family dementia carers survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3VJVZN3

This year, we’re focusing on the moments when caring felt hardest. Your experiences help show policy and decision makers why dementia carers urgently need better support—before crisis point is reached.

The survey only takes about 15 minutes to complete, and you can tell us as much or as little as you like.
