The burden of caring
While caring can be rewarding, it can also feel like a burden. In honour of Carers Week, our Welfare Services Lead Carrie Pearce shares her own experience of caring for her mother-in-law.
While caring can be rewarding, it can also feel like a burden. In honour of Carers Week, our Welfare Services Lead Carrie Pearce shares her own experience of caring for her mother-in-law. This Carers Week, our Welfare Caseworker, Irene Ramsden, tells us why this network of unsung heroes around the UK need more support. Our incredible carers have been working tirelessly over the last year - and we want to say thank you. So join us for a brew and a quiz this Carers Week in honour of them all. Welfare Services Lead Carrie Pearce explains how ditching technology and writing a letter to someone you care about can have major benefits on your wellbeing. We've created indoor and outdoor versions of a scavenger hunt designed to get your family moving and spend some time together that doesn't involve any discussions about home schooling or what to have for tea.
