If unpaid carers were paid min wage (£12.21/hr), they’d get: • 35 hrs = £427.35 • 60 hrs = £732.60 • 80 hrs = £976.80 • 100 hrs = £1,221.00 But they get just £83.30/week — no matter how many hours they do over the 35 It’s not support — it’s exploitation #UnpaidCarers 🪡
Today is the day of the vote and we know it's going to be a worrying day for many disabled people. Remember to look after your own mental health and turn off the news/take a break from social media if you need to. At Disability Rebellion we're here for you.
Thank you John! For sharing it on here and for adding the captions. Also John and @HarmonyPartyUK have added a way you can contact your MP!

Please remember the elderly, the disabled and those with chronic illnesses during this heatwave. Check on your neighbours! I’ve seen so many people scoffing at the weather warnings. Just because it doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean it’s not serious for those that are vulnerable!
Such an amazing service with amazing suicide prevention therapists and staff conducting life saving suicide prevention work. I feel so privileged to have conducted collaborative research with them and to have this service in Liverpool @JamesPlaceUK 👇
Today marks seven years since we opened the first James' Place in Liverpool. We now have three centres (Liverpool, London & Newcastle) and 21 therapists providing up to 262 sessions of free, life-saving therapy every week to men in suicidal crisis. jamesplace.org.uk/support

🪓🪓🟰Designed Poverty “Currently 77,460 people in NI claim Carers Allowance (Feb 2025). 220,060 claimants were in receipt of PIP on 28 Feb 2025. We know that 28.3% of NI carers live in 👛, a rate which is higher than the poverty rate for carers in the rest of UK (23.6%).”
We have published our draft response to the Government's Pathways to Work Green Paper: lawcentreni.org/news/cliff-edg… We have grave concerns about the likely impacts of these proposals in NI & that Govt have failed to take account of 'place' in the consultation
