Thousands of carers are struggling with debt because of Carer’s Allowance overpayments. An honest mistake can lead to debts that run up to £1000s.
Sign our petition with the Carer Poverty Coalition calling for urgent reform now. ✍️

Carers Allowance must be reformed.
We've launched a petition calling for urgent reform to ensure Carer’s Allowance will properly support unpaid carers and end the devastating impact overpayments has had on thousands of carers.

Carers Allowance is a benefit that’s 50 years out of touch.
It’s simply not fit for purpose in 21st century.
How it’s administered and run isn’t fit for purpose.
We need investment in carers and investment in our carer benefits.

Many families are being stretched to their financial limits just to cover dementia care. This has to change.

This beautiful farewell letter from the incredible @WendyPMitchell has to be the most powerful case for an urgent change to UK law on #AssistedDying. A talented & courageous woman, Wendy Mitchell has left an enduring legacy in her books, films & blogs. @dignityindying #dementia
This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective.

We never thought we’d ever tweet about a tree, but awareness about this scandalous act needs spreading far and wide. So devastating to see.
What the hell is wrong with people?
Officers have condemned the vandalism of an iconic #Northumberland tree and vowed to bring anyone responsible to justice.
A full investigation has been launched after the Sycamore Gap Tree was felled overnight in what police believe to be a deliberate act of vandalism. (1/3)
