Many people do not understand the ‘behind the scenes’ of being a Parent Carer.. but we do!
Our ‘A Day in my Shoes’ campaign on 23rd April was to raise Parent Carer awareness to non medical parents, inviting friends and family to have a virtual day in their shoes.
By taking part, they experienced the physical tasks of what they need to do to keep their child well. What it didn’t include was the emotional side which can be just as heavy.
This campaign was to gain understanding and have a small insight into the life of a Parent Carer. We wanted family and friends to be able to use this knowledge to further support their loved ones.
A big well done to the brave Parent Carers who shared their timetables and big thanks to the family and friends who showed their support by taking part.
