🔎 What today's poverty report from Joseph Rowntree Foundation said about carers:
🔹38% of carers caring for more than 35 hours a week are in poverty
🔹1 in 4 working age carers live in poverty
🔹Carers more likely to live in poverty than the general population
Poverty is deepening.
🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.
People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.
This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

Welcome coverage of young carers in the latest @PrivateEyeNews. At least 2 in every class, many providing high or very high levels of care — and still largely invisible to systems meant to support them. 👏

You now have the RIGHT to ask your GP to identify you as an unpaid carer.
This could mean priority access to vaccines and other public health campaigns.

Unpaid carers have the RIGHT to request a carer’s assessment. Getting support can make caring easier. If you’re over 18 and provide regular unpaid care, you’re entitled to an assessment. Watch this carers assessment video: tiny.cc/0d9v001 #CarersRightsDay #NHSThinkCarer

A child shouldn’t pay for their parent’s crime. A 16yo left to care for his 8yo brother, unsupported, is neglect. Children of prisoners must be identified & supported. #ItWasntMe
