Sometimes the pace of change in our world feels rapid, and we can barely imagine how things will be in the future. Yet when we consider our own situations, there are moments when we may feel the world is standing still. Perhaps our caring routine feels relentless and we wake 12 up to the same tasks or battles day after day, with no hint of a break in sight. Perhaps things have been this way for too long for us to believe that change is possible. Earlier this year we published our vision for 2021, breaking down the changes we want to see for carers. The changes we’re striving for could make a difference to your life as a carer. And each small step forward in recognition and support has the potential to make life better for all of us. Most importantly, we will need to work together as a community and as a movement to bring these changes about. carersu ˛ܙ
