For the first time ever, Young Carers supporting parents with a severe mental illness will get the help they desperately need. A young carer called it "the safety net we always wished existed". So proud of @AlisonEBennett for her work with @CarersTrust.

🚨 LIB DEM WIN: @AlisonEBennett has secured changes to the Mental Health Bill, ensuring better support for young carers whose parents have mental illness.



Brilliant visit today @starcrossed2018

Outstanding home visit this week from @OutsideClinic for eye test for 95 year old mum - one of the best medical appointments she had had.

Many staff in different types of libraries work with amazing volunteers, amplifying the impact on their communities of users - here's an opportunity to recognise them #KAVS

Equivalent to an MBE, The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award for voluntary groups in the UK. Is there a group of volunteers in your community that is deserving of this award? Nominations for KAVS will open on the 1st of September. #KAVS

Agree! All my mum’s daily visits by care workers would be significantly impacted…

Banning care workers from overseas will have devastating consequences for our loved ones who desperately need care, for our care homes who are struggling to recruit the staff they need, and on our already overstretched hospitals.

Public libraries sit at the heart of thriving communities. Supporting learning, literacy and social mobility for everyone in our society, they also help to build the economy of the future. Very much hope you can make this debate @fivanmierlo

Every voter for 21 Councils, 6 Mayors, & 1 by-election has a statutory right to a comprehensive & efficient public library service, creating opportunities & growth. Yet budgets were cut -53% since 2010. What are candidates saying about libraries? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

“There are two stories: one is Scotland’s libraries doing an amazing amount of good for their communities; the other is we have got shrinking budgets and libraries threatened with closure and staff reductions, those two things disagree with each other" holyrood.com/inside-politic…
