Ed Davey’s Stand Up For Carers Campaign

November 27, 2020

Same Difference has been sent the following petition:

Carers – paid and unpaid, young and old – do a remarkable and important job.

They deserve our support but are far too often forgotten and ignored. Liberal Democrats will stand up for carers and lead the way to a more caring society as we emerge from this pandemic.

This starts by raising Carer’s Allowance for unpaid carers by £1,000 a year.

As it happens, Same Difference has been campaigning for a similar rise in Carer’s Allowance for several years.

Like Ed Davey, who is a parent carer himself, we have seen firsthand the value of parent and family carers. They play a priceless role in the lives of so many and have had a particularly difficult time in 2020.

Same Difference is thrilled to see this extremely important issue recognised by an organisation as large and powerful as the Liberal Democrats. Our full support is not worth half as much to them as theirs is to us, but we offer it anyway.
