Great to represent #unpaidcarers from Leeds and Carers Leeds at today’s the Carer Poverty Coalition parliamentary event. Lots of opportunity to talk to MPs about the financial challenges faced by #carers and what the government can do about it!

My The Guardian story w/@joshhalliday: 600 unpaid carers prosecuted and left with a criminal record, 262k in ruinous debt - official National Audit Office audit shows the scale of the DWP failure on carer's allowance in the 5 years after it vowed to fix the benefit theguardian.com/society/2024/d…

Just wow. Thanks to Patrick Butler for continuing to shed light on the #carersallowance payment scandal. The outcome of the government review can’t come soon enough #unaidcarer

Thank-you to Claire Turner & the wonderful team at Carers Leeds for hosting me this week. In terms of preventing deaths by suicide & homicide, Carers Leeds are leading the pack. It's a privilege to be working with them to support carers in crisis.

Essential reading on #poverty by Joseph Rowntree Foundation #unpaidcarers , yet again, are one of the groups experiencing unacceptably high levels of poverty. We must do more to address this - no one should face financial hardship due to caring for someone else jrf.org.uk/uk-poverty-202…
