Carers Week this year was all about Making Caring Visible but obviously it is something that we had to do slightly differently this year compared previously. We would normally have a lot of special events happening for people to attend and this year they all had to happen online through Zoom instead. It was always going to be a strange adjustment for everyone but ultimately it meant that even more people had access to our Carers Week celebrations than ever before!
To start the week we showed our President, Alistair Burt, and our Chairperson, Emma Wilkinson, having a conversation about how Covid-19 has been affecting how we are working here and what it may mean for us going forward. They also discuss the impact that it has had on carers and what changes have been made that may be here to stay. They also talk about how important volunteering has been for everyone and what we get up to in Carers Week. The link below will take you to three short videos of the interview:
