Hanky with a shower cubicle and wash basin in a bathroom with the words Our heating and water bills keep rising.
Craftivism isn't about being good at sewing.
It's about slowing down, telling your truth and being counted.
Don't forget we have a series of online workshops. Come, chat and stitch.

Caring doesn't pause when the bills go up.
February is going to be about the cost of living through the lens of caring. What it looks like when you're already running on empty.

Across countries & cultures, unpaid carers describe the same reality: care becomes a constant part of daily life often w/ little guidance or support.
These shared experiences were discussed on the #CareFullyConsidered podcast by @wecarecampaign.bsky.social featuring our Dev. Director Ruth Patil 💜🧡

We’re stitching these realities together and taking them to Westminster this winter. 🧵

We Care exists so carers don’t have to explain themselves.
There's a shorthand when you're carers too.

We’re stepping into the festive period knowing it can be harder for carers.
What makes it harder for you? Lack of support, expectations, everyones out of office on?

In our latest podcast, we’re joined by @datataha.bsky.social from @jrf-uk.bsky.social to talk about something huge — and often invisible.

Hi Tracy,
The speaking for us and not really sounding like us was why We Care was set up seven years ago.
Am sure I don’t get it right all of the time, but when you’re a carer yourself you sort of know what we’re all thinking!

Independent Review of Carer’s Allowance Overpayments
Carers shouldn't need courage to claim Carer's Allowance.
If today's review resolves this, it's a win thanks to carers and investigative journalism.
