Less than 30 mins until the start of our Carers Question Time & we're putting the finishing touches on our plans. It's #CarersWeek & it's important that our event is co-chaired by people with lived experience: Simon and Trish, who both support their partners living with #dementia

'Thank you for your time, and remember that your promises are the only thing we have to hold on to – which ones will you forget?' - Trish, who cares for her husband with early onset #dementia, speaking to MSPs and closing our Carers Question Time event. #CarersWeek #UnpaidCarers

#CarersWeek may be over - but the fight to keep carer's #HumanRights on the agenda certainly isn't! To influence change we need to gather as many diverse experiences of #caring as possible. So we've launched a survey for #UnpaidCarers to share their story. surveymonkey.co.uk/r/2JT7K3Z

Mixed emotions as I head into my final day with tide after 4 humbling years working with the most amazing carers and colleagues to turn up the volume so voices are heard and change is made. Looking forward now to my new challenge ahead
