Hi all, apologies but due to a health emergency (I had a heart attack) we are operating emergency cover only. Hopefully things will return to normal shortly, and Carers Breaks 2027 will go live in October as usual.. watch this space.

Can anyone help? I love @bsky.app but recently when I try to read it flips to the top every time someone posts something new… how can I stop this?

Delighted to have spent the last couple of days with @elizabethcasson.bsky.social at the OT show in Birmingham. OTs have a vital role in supporting carers so it's nice to give something back, they're lovely folk too #bemoreelizabeth

Happy Birthday TRA, we have been supporting unpaid carers since May 16th 2001, how the time flies. Our services have never been more needed than in these challenging times and we aim to be here whenever a carer needs us for many years to come.

Carers across Great Britain do an amazing service, caring for loved ones 24/7 with no breaks and no complaints. We are here to give them what most of us take for granted, a little piece of normality.
