Give Carers a Break – Join the Campaign for Change
Every day, Carers across East Kent and the UK dedicate themselves to supporting loved ones—often at the expense of their own health, wellbeing, and livelihoods. Yet, despite their vital role, many Carers are left without the time or resources to take a much-needed break.
That’s why Carers’ Support East Kent is proud to stand with Carers Trust in calling for a legal right to regular breaks for all Carers.
- Why This Matters
- 1 in 5 Carers haven’t had a single day off in over a year.
- Many Carers are burnt out, isolated, and struggling to cope.
A legal right to breaks would give Carers the respite they deserve—to rest, recharge, and continue caring safely.
Protest from Home
Join the movement by watching and sharing the powerful “Protest from Home” film. It captures the voices of real carers demanding change.
“We’re not asking for the world. We’re asking for a break.”
