Support the Usdaw cares about carers Thunderclap and social media campaign

Date: 17 May 2016 ‘Usdaw cares about Carers’ is the theme for this year’s Supporting Parents and Carers campaign and the focus of the Usdaw spotlight day on Wednesday 18 May 2016. Usdaw’s Thunderclap can be found at: http://thndr.me/GNpu5w
John Hannett – Usdaw General Secretary says: “We are using our annual spotlight day to reach out to members who are juggling their jobs with looking after someone. The union understands the pressures they are under and our reps can help with support on workplace issues and signposting to other appropriate support organisations where caring is causing problems that go beyond the workplace.

“It’s all about creating awareness and I hope people will join our Thunderclap and use social media to help achieve that.”
