Carers Rights Day 2025: Know Your Rights, Use Your Rights
The blog highlights how this year’s Carers Rights Day, focuses on the theme “Know your rights, use your rights.” It emphasises that many individuals who provide unpaid care to friends or family members often don’t recognise themselves as carers and may miss out on the legal rights and support they’re entitled to. The piece aims to empower carers by clearly outlining the rights that exist (for example, in employment, health, or social care) and encouraging them to take action.
Disability Rights: Take Action
This page is inviting disabled people and allies to take concrete action against disability benefit cuts and wider attacks on disabled people’s rights, by learning about the issues, using resources to challenge politicians/decisions, and getting involved with local and national disabled people’s organisations.
