Carers are often the quiet achievers in our communities.
They're the family members, friends, neighbours and loved ones who provide support, encouragement and care every day, often without recognition and sometimes without even calling themselves a carer.
Recently, we gathered with carers at one of our monthly Carers Catch Up Lunches and asked them what being a carer, and having a space to connect with others, means to them.
💬 "We look forward to catching up every month with like-minded people and have made new connections and great friendships."
💬 "For a short time you're not just a Carer, you're human!"
💬 "It's just so nice to have some 'me' time with people who understand and empathise."
💬 "Caring is being there for someone."
This National Carers Week, we thank all carers for the invaluable role they play in the lives of others. Your compassion, dedication and kindness make a difference every single day.
