With #CarersWeek coming to a close today, we want to reiterate our commitment to be there for all carers. As many as 10.6 million people in the UK provide some form of unpaid care. It's essential they are respected for all they are doing and given the support they need. 💜

On the final day of #CarersWeek 2023, we’re sharing Zoe’s story.
