On Tuesday 28th April 2026, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, we came together at Cygnet Churchill in Lambeth for what was described as a carers poetry event, but in truth, it became something much deeper.
It became a space where carers could speak, reflect, and be heard.
I hosted the session not just as a PCREF Carer Lead, but as someone with lived experience. That shaped everything the tone, the structure, and the intention behind every part of the agenda.
I made it clear: this was a safe, inclusive, and optional space. No pressure to perform. No expectation to share. Just an invitation.
We began with a simple check-in: “What’s one word you’re arriving with?”
Opening Readings: Creating a Shared Starting Point
I started with a couple of my own poems, drawn from my work around carers, stigma, and racial inequality in mental health.
As shown above, one piece explored the question of who is listened to and who is overlooked within systems. Another focused on stigma and shame, particularly how cultural expectations and institutional barriers can compound the experience of caring.
These weren’t just readings—they were a way of opening the room. An invitation for others to see themselves reflected.
Featured Performer: Karen Ibrahim
We then heard from Karen Ibrahim, whose poetry captured something deeply familiar to many carers the quiet, often invisible emotional labour of caring.
Her piece reflected the silence between carer and loved one, the fear of saying the wrong thing, and the reality of sitting with someone in distress without always knowing how to help. It spoke to that fragile balance carers hold every day.
Karen also shared a series of haiku-style reflections, drawn from carer experiences—short, powerful snapshots of emotion, nature, and coping. They reminded us that even the smallest expressions can carry deep meaning.
Guided Writing Exercise #1: Bringing PCREF to Life
We then moved into the first guided writing exercise.
I paired participants and asked them to:
Match PCREF-related concepts (like equity, advocacy, inclusion, resilience) to their meanings
Use those words to create a short poem or reflection
It was about translating PCREF from policy into lived language.
The results were powerful. Carers wrote about 4 poems altogether, below were the themes, which will be included in the new PCREF poetry book I am working on.
Feeling unseen and unheard
Wanting their voice recognised
Breaking down barriers in care
Finding strength through community
One group asked: “Is my voice not loud enough to be heard?”
I felt that line stayed with me, because it captures exactly what PCREF is trying to address.
Performer & Open Mic (Round 1)
We then moved into our first round of performances, where carers shared both prepared and newly written work.
I felt Brenda brought something unique, blending cultural storytelling and poetry rooted in Jamaican heritage. She reflected on traditional knowledge, community wisdom, and the use of language and folklore as a way of preserving identity and healing. Her use of dialect and storytelling highlighted how culture shapes how we express and understand care.
Next was Annette Davis shared a piece centred on the identity of being a carer, capturing the emotional strain, lack of recognition, and inner strength that comes with the role. Her poem questioned what it means to be labelled a “carer” while navigating burnout, resilience, and the need for self-care.
Next up was Faith Smith and Nadine sharing a powerful reflection on system inequality, exploring the daily pressures of navigating services, the lack of accessible support, and the feeling of being caught in processes that don’t always respond to real-life needs.
Each piece added another layer to the conversation, with different perspectives, but shared truths.
Break & Connection
We paused for a short break and refreshments provided by the kind and wonderful staff at cygnet, but for the poetry event the conversations didn’t stop.
Carers continued to connect. Share stories. and reflected on what they had heard.
This is something I always emphasise, community doesn’t just happen in structured sessions. It happens in those in-between moments.
Creative Exercise session #2: Exploring PCREF Language
After the break, I introduced a second exercise, which was more interactive and reflective.
Participants worked with a word-search style challenge, identifying key PCREF-related terms such as:
Voice
Inclusion
Equity
Community
Trust
Advocacy
Listening
Stereotyping
Rather than writing full poems, we focused on discussion: Which word stands out and why?
The responses were honest and grounded:
“Listening builds trust.”
“Community is where we belong.”
“Inclusion is what drives change.”
“Stereotyping still shapes how we’re treated.”
This is where PCREF becomes real, when people recognise themselves within it.
Performer & Open Mic (Round 2)
We continued with a second round of performances.
Carers shared reflections shaped by:
Cultural identity
Personal caring journeys
The emotional impact of systems
Hope, resilience, and change
Then ended with cultural carer songs by Brenda, see the video of part of the PCREF poetry session below.
In the end PCREF is about improving outcomes for racialised communities—but it cannot succeed if it remains purely clinical.
We:
Translated PCREF into lived experience
Used creativity to engage carers meaningfully
Created a culturally responsive space
Positioned carers as equal voices not passive participants

The poem is a spoken word piece from my upcoming poetry collection Unpaid, Unseen and Yet Unbroken (launching 2026).
This poem centres the lived experiences of ethnic and minority mental health carers, where they continue to show up, often without recognition, navigating systems that can feel complex and unresponsive.
The poem focuses on the quiet strength, shared knowledge, and collective care that exist within our communities.
In the spirit of PCREF, this work highlights the importance of listening to lived experience, valuing cultural understanding, and recognising community as a source of resilience and healing
March 21 marks the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which is a day recognised across the world to remember, reflect, and take action.
This day was established following the tragic events of the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa in 1960, where peaceful protestors lost their lives while standing against injustice. It is a reminder of how far we have come, but also how far we still need to go.
Racism is not just something we read about in history. It continues to exist in our societies, often in ways that are subtle, systemic, and deeply embedded. It can affect people’s opportunities, their confidence, and their sense of belonging.
As a carer activist, I see the impact of this in mental health and support systems. When people feel unheard, misunderstood, or treated unfairly, it can have lasting effects on their wellbeing. Care should be equal, compassionate, and inclusive for everyone.
This day is not only about raising awareness, but about encouraging action. Each of us has a role to play in challenging discrimination and promoting understanding.
That might mean listening more carefully to others’ experiences, educating ourselves, speaking up when something isn’t right, or simply showing empathy in our everyday interactions.
Change doesn’t always come from big gestures. It often starts with small, consistent actions.
March 21 is a reminder, but I think the responsibility is ongoing.
The question is: what will you do to stand against racism?
If you’re a Black unpaid carer, you already know what it means to carry a lot responsibility, love, pressure, and often, silence. Whether you’re supporting a parent, partner, child, or friend, your role is vital. But too often, carers are left out of conversations about mental health, support systems, and services that are meant to help.
That’s why the upcoming Black Mental Health: Early Access, Prevention & Culturally Safe Pathways Conference is worth your attention.
This isn’t just another event. It’s a space designed with our communities in mind, where lived experiences are recognised, cultural understanding is centred, and real conversations can happen.
Why attend if you are a Black unpaid carers
Many Black carers face unique challenges:
Navigating services that don’t always understand cultural context
Experiencing stigma around mental health within families or communities
Feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsupported
Struggling to find information that reflects their reality
This conference creates a rare opportunity to step into a space where those experiences are not only acknowledged but taken seriously.
What you can expect
This event brings together professionals, community leaders, and people with lived experience to explore how we can improve access to mental health support and create safer, more inclusive pathways.
You’ll find:
Open conversations about care, connection, and change
Guest speakers sharing insight, expertise, and lived experience
Practical information on accessing support earlier and more effectively
A community atmosphere where you can meet others who understand your journey
There will also be food, a marketplace, and informal opportunities to connect—because sometimes the most powerful support comes from simply not feeling alone.
Why your voice matters
As an unpaid carer, your perspective is essential. Systems can’t improve without hearing directly from those who are navigating them every day.
Attending this conference is not just about receiving information it’s about:
Sharing your experiences
Influencing future services
Building connections with others in similar roles
Finding new ways to support both yourself and the person you care for
Taking a moment for yourself
Carers are often the last to prioritise their own wellbeing. This event is a chance to pause, reflect, and invest in your own mental health without guilt.
You deserve support. You deserve to be heard. And you deserve spaces that understand you.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to step into a space that centres Black mental health and truly values carers, i think this is it.
Come along. Bring your experience, your questions, and your voice. You won’t be alone in the room.
I feel Unpaid carers play a vital role in supporting loved ones experiencing mental health challenges. Much of this caring happens quietly in homes, during sleepless nights, through appointments, advocacy, and everyday acts of protection and support.
For many carers from minority communities, this experiences also includes navigating the cultural understanding, language differences, and systems that sometimes do not always recognise or reflect communities. Despite the knowledge carers hold, I feel our voices can sometimes feel overlooked in those decisions about care.
I recently wrote and recorded a short spoken word poem titled “Nothing About Us Without Us.” This poem reflects a simple and important message: carers bring lived experience that should be included in conversations about mental health services.
The poem is taken from the book I am developing called “Unpaid, Unseen and Yet Unbroken”
Carers are not just supporters in the background. Carers can carry knowledge shaped by lived reality by caring, advocating, and supporting our families through complex systems.
The poem also speaks to the importance of co-production. When carers, communities, and professionals work together, services can become more understanding and culturally responsive, and equitable.
I think this message is especially relevant to ongoing work around the Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF), which encourages meaningful involvement of people with lived experience in shaping mental health services.
The poem is a small creative contribution to that conversation. It invites us to reflect on a few simple questions:
Are carers from different backgrounds being listened to?
Are those lived experiences shaping services?
Are decisions being made with carers, not about them?
Listening to carers is not just a gesture of inclusion it can lead to better understanding, stronger partnerships, and better care.
If you would like to watch the poem, you can find the video here:
I hope my poem encourages reflection and conversation about how we can continue building services with communities, and not just for them.
The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) is a landmark policy designed to improve racial equity in NHS mental health care. But if it’s going to deliver meaningful change, one key voice must be placed at its centre: the carer.

Putting the “C” (Carer) into PCREF
In this vlog, I explore why unpaid ethnic minority carers — who are often the backbone of support for people with mental health needs — are still too often excluded from decision-making, planning, and implementation in services designed to support both them and their loved ones
A Shared Movement
Integrating PCREF and Triangle of Care is a commitment to transforming relationships in mental health care.
Carers are not just an add-on. They are central to safe, equitable, and culturally competent services.
Watch the video above, share your thoughts, and join the conversation.
Race Equality Week 2026 and Black History Month 2026 (US) is at a time when conversations about inclusion feel more important and more urgent than ever.
I have created a short video to explore why this week matters, what this year’s theme #ChangeNeedsAllOfUs represents, and how each of us can play a role in building fairer workplaces and communities. Rather than focusing on awareness alone, the aim is to encourage honest reflection and meaningful action that lasts beyond a single week.
Recent events have reminded us why race equality cannot be taken for granted. Incidents circulating online including a widely criticised video that portrayed the Obamas using racist imagery highlight how harmful stereotypes and dehumanising narratives still appear in public discourse. Moments like this reinforce why challenging racism, promoting respectful representation, and standing up for equality remain essential.
Race equality is not about blame or division. It’s about recognising lived experiences, understanding that fairness is not the same as sameness, and ensuring everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
Real change doesn’t happen because of one campaign or one voice. It happens when many people take small, consistent steps listening more closely, questioning assumptions, and choosing inclusion in everyday decisions.
Because progress must be driven by all of us doing something, not just the few.
By Matthew McKenzie, facilitator of National ethnic mental health carers forum
Welcome to my first blog for 2026.
I am working on a new poetry project linked to my forum and poetry groups. This poem turned into song is written from the perspective of an unpaid ethnic mental health carer, and explores identity, pride, self-worth, and refusing shame in systems that don’t always listen or recognise lived experience.
The poem is taken from my forthcoming poetry book in development, Unpaid, Unseen and Yet Unbroken (due 2026), which centres the voices of ethnic mental health carers and aligns closely with the aims of PCREF (Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework), particularly around listening, inclusion, and lived experience shaping systems.
I’m using poetry and creative formats as another way to:
amplify carer voices
explore race and care with honesty
support conversations about equity, culture, and confidence in mental health services
If this resonates with your work, community, or organisation, please feel free to share. Listening is an act of care.
