Our project is coming to an end on 1st December, and we would really love to hear from more Young Carers.

Exploring the Experiences of Unpaid Carers

Weโ€™re shining a spotlight on the realities faced by Unpaid Carers, both Adult and Young, who are living with a long-term condition or disability while also caring for someone else.

๐Ÿ’œ October is Lupus Awareness Month, and Lupus UK is celebrating 35 years of support and advocacy.

Lupus is a complex autoimmune condition affecting over 5 million people worldwide. Itโ€™s hard to diagnoseโ€”symptoms vary and changeโ€”and while itโ€™s not contagious, thereโ€™s no cure. With the right care, though, many people can manage it well.

In the UK, around 1 in 1,000 people have lupus. 90% are women, often diagnosed between 15 and 55, and it disproportionately affects Black African, Caribbean, and Asian communities. On average, it takes 6.4 years to get a diagnosis.

Whether you live with lupus or support someone who does, Lupus UK has free resources, support groups, and a welcoming online community.

๐Ÿ“ฒ Follow them on LUPUS UK, X, Instagram & LinkedIn for facts, stories, and support.
