It's Generational Thing!
Lesley Aitkenhead wrote a piece about her experience as a carer and other carers' experiences.
Here at tide, we want to change the way carers are recognised, valued, and treated
It is our mission to ensure that the needs of carers are recognised and valued. We believe in the power of sharing your story, so everyone can understand what it takes to care for a loved one.
How to tell your story?
You can share via a written piece, a poem, a story or simply film yourself on a phone. We can also set up a recording session via Zoom.
