Are you a carer in Croydon? Share your experiences, hints and tips to show support for Carers Week. #croydoncarers #CarersWeek #carerstogether #CroydonTogetherWould you like to say something about being a carer?
You could tell us...
- What your caring role means to you?
- What you are most proud of? (Blow Your Own Trumpet!)
- If you have any strategies or tips that you would like to share with other carers?
- If you have any 'hidden places' in Croydon that you enjoy going to? We would love to share details of great places in or around Croydon so other carers can enjoy them too.
Whatever you have to say, we would like to hear it!
You can send us a video, voice recording, photo, a poem, just a sentence or 2, or maybe interview another carer.
