💬 “It’s not a role we apply for, but one that life hands us.” Mohammad Awais, our wonderful Carer Support Team Manager, shares a deeply honest and personal look at what it means to be a male carer — and why connection is so important. 👉 Read Awais’ full reflection and the ways in which Mobilise is working to better support male carers: https://lnkd.in/eVzH_HTy In a role that can be isolating, especially for men, building community and support is vital. From our tailored newsletters, to the Mobilise App, and Men’s Meetups, we’re listening, learning, and creating spaces where male carers feel seen and understood. This isn’t just about better engagement - it’s about creating spaces male cares can feel like they belong. #MaleCarers #CarersVoices #MobiliseCommunity #MentalHealth #CarerSupport #PeerSupport #CaringAndConnection

With changes to disability benefits like PIP, now’s the time for unpaid carers to double-check what support’s out there. We were pleased to see Mobilise mentioned in this piece from The Daily Express, highlighting the £5,740 annual support available through Attendance Allowance – a benefit that’s still massively under claimed by over a million people. Every unpaid carer deserves the support they’re entitled to - let’s keep raising awareness. 📰 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e2mGPfMV #UnpaidCarers #AttendanceAllowance #CarersSupport #BenefitsAwareness #CarersRights

Reaching carers when traditional services can’t... We know that many carers can’t access support during office hours. That’s why Mobilise provides digital support, advice, and community—available when carers need it most, including late at night and over the weekend. In this video, we hear from: 💙 Michelle Keir (NHS Highland) on how Mobilise helps reach carers who might otherwise go unsupported 💙 Lesley MacCulloch (Carer & Mobilise community member) on the power of an uplifting, online carer community 💙 Mark Mulhern (Carers Lead) on how digital services can engage more carers, including men, who may not access traditional support 📢 Did you know? 80% of carers using Mobilise weren’t previously known to services? Digital solutions are opening doors to better support.

💡 Technology in healthcare has huge potential - but only if it truly works for unpaid carers. Our co-founder Suzanne Bourne has been speaking with the Mobilise community about the planned changes to healthcare tech. From AI-powered support to digital ‘carer passports’, carers are full of innovative ideas. But we also need to address the risks - accessibility, digital exclusion, and the need for human connection. Tech should support, not add stress. Read the full post below and join the conversation! 👇
