Artist as unpaid carer

I’m being pushed off a cliff edge.

See this blog.

Desperately trying to get help, but still getting the same passive aggressive “take care” from CAB volunteers who can’t actually help prevent financial abuse, and to which I reply that I can’t do that with no income.

The government are failing carers, and this could be safeguarded by the arts, but I’m not being safeguarded in my career.

I attended a Carer’s Breakfast last Thursday, in which Lincolnshire is pioneering ways for carers to stay in work.

The arts is no exception to this.

For arts organisations commissioning artists that are carers, arts council, for artists and other arts professionals, employers for carers is for you.
