Caring for carers, the superheroes behind closed doors
This Carers Week, our Welfare Caseworker, Irene Ramsden, tells us why this network of unsung heroes around the UK need more support.
This Carers Week, our Welfare Caseworker, Irene Ramsden, tells us why this network of unsung heroes around the UK need more support. We are proud to be supporting a new website designed to support positive mental health among Scotland's emergency responders. Retained firefighter Richard Bowman has completed a gruelling 24-hour mountain bike ride through the Scottish Highlands to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity. Here he explains why he wanted to say thank you in this way. Two-year-old Jessica is taking part in a sponsored walk to raise money for her heroes in the fire and rescue service. On Sunday, 53-year-old Carol Lord will swim the 23-mile length of Loch Lomond in memory of her Fire Officer father.
