Please help us to raise £25K by August 2017
Caring is rarely something you can plan for – illness or accident can turn any of us into a carer at any time.
- 3 in 5 of us will become carers at some point in our lives
- 1 in 3 carers never get a break
- 1 in 3 carers say they don’t like to make a fuss about themselves
WE NEED FRIENDS to help raise money for the small things in life that give carers a break from their 24 hour caring role.
Time: for carers it is time for themselves that is often absent; most carers never clock off. We want to give them time to:
- Take the kids to a football match
- Go running/keep fit/be active
- Socialise with friends
- Have a haircut
- Go shopping, see a film or take up a hobby
Help: Provide someone to do the small practical tasks around the home like trimming the hedge, mowing the lawn; some painting and decorating; fixing things.
Support: Provide specialist equipment that will make caring easier.
