Connected Living celebrates Carers Week

This month we celebrated Carers Week by joining over 2,000 organisations including charities, politicians and businesses to make a pledge to respect and support unpaid carers in our communities.

Over 6.5 million people in the UK are carers, and Carers Week is an annual campaign to highlight the challenges unpaid carers face. This year’s theme is ‘Making Caring Visible and Valued’ and the team at our technology enabled care provider, Connected Living pledged to continue to treat all carers with respect and dignity while working in their homes.

Kerry Appleton, operations and contracts lead at Aster Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be celebrating Carers Week because we believe that both people receiving and providing care deserve to be treated with respect.

“Carers often need time and support from others themselves due to the demands of caring for their loved ones, and we wholeheartedly recognise the fantastic work they do every day. We also know that carers worry about what might happen to their loved ones if they themselves were to fall ill, which is where Connected Living can support by providing services that ensure help is always available when needed.”
