Caring for a loved one who is ill, disabled, or older can be rewarding, but without the right support, it can take a toll on your health, finances and social life. That’s why we’ve partnered with Carers UK to offer free advice, tools, and resources for carers. Their Digital Resource, developed with input from carers themselves, has recently been updated with: 🌱 e-learning modules (covering your rights as a carer, help with finances, supportive technology and equipment, coping with stress, managing sleep, looking after someone’s affairs, protecting them from fraud, and more) 🌱 A multimedia library with a range of informational videos 🌱 New content on condition specific information, a jargon buster and updated content on technology and how it can support care and caring. 🌱 New information about Carers Assessments. You can access this free, comprehensive resource via our website: https://lnkd.in/ercVuM-q Knowing your rights can make all the difference 💚 #PerennialHelps #CarersRightsDay #Charity #Horticulture

Every day, 12,000 people become unpaid carers for a loved one, often without realising it, and many aren’t aware of their rights or the support available. This year’s Carers Rights Day theme, Recognising Your Rights, is about helping the UK’s 5.7m unpaid carers understand what they’re entitled to and feel confident asking for the support they need. From workplace adjustments to healthcare and social services, knowing your rights as a carer can make a real difference. If you’re a carer, take the time to learn about the resources and support available to you for the vital role you play.
