About the webinar
Caring for someone can be deeply fulfilling, but it also brings unique challenges.
Research from Carers Week 2023 shows there are 10.6 million unpaid carers in the UK – an increase since the last Census – and 41% have seen their caring hours rise in the past year, according to Carers Trust.
With an ageing population, this trend is likely to continue, meaning many people may find themselves taking on caring responsibilities. If you’re one of them, having the right support is essential.
In this webinar, Paul, our Head of Wellbeing, and Sue, an experienced Caseworker specialising in carer support, will share practical steps to help you navigate your role. Topics include recognising when you’re a carer, managing emotions like guilt, and accessing vital services. The session also includes a live Q&A, giving you the chance to share your experiences and ask questions.
