The Comics

Care-experienced graduates: tracing the journeys of young people leaving university without family safety nets, and showing how sudden withdrawal of support, financial pressures, and the “graduate cliff edge” shape their futures.

Dementia and purposeful walking: examining how walking, often labelled as “wandering,” can be understood instead as a meaningful activity that supports independence and wellbeing, and how care staff can be better supported to work with capacity legislation.

Care and work: presenting the experiences of unpaid carers who balance employment with caring responsibilities, and highlighting the case for paid leave through research evidence, international comparisons, and testimony shared in Parliament.

Care in the queer home: exploring how LGBTQ+ people understand and experience “home,” and how housing, support, and social care services can either sustain or undermine identity, belonging, and security.
