This year marks 60 years of @CarersUK championing the remarkable work of unpaid carers. Last night, I joined CEO @Helen_M_Walker and Baroness Pitkeathley OBE at a special event to reflect on the progress made, the challenges ahead, and why valuing care is vital for our future.
It was a great honour to sit down with Bishop Sarah to discuss all things #unpaidcarers and how the church can play a key role in recognition and support.
Our Chief Executive, Helen Walker, recently sat down with Rt Hon & Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally for a powerful conversation about the realities facing the UK’s unpaid carers.
