Carers Resource - Proud to be a Carer Campaign
See info below on how to get involved from Carers' Resource

Carers in Bradford are being invited to help shape three new short films about what it really means to be an Unpaid Carer.
With the support of Bradford Council, we are inviting people across the Bradford area to share their experiences of caring as part of a new campaign which aims to make caring more visible, better understood and easier to talk about.
We are developing three professionally produced short films which will explore different caring situations and the many different experiences of looking after someone. The films will form part of a wider Proud to be a Carer campaign, which will launch in Bradford in 2027.
But before the cameras start rolling, we want to hear from people who have experience of unpaid caring. Whatever your experience, where you are from or what language you speak – we want to hear from you.
Get involved
If you would like to share your experience, help shape the films or find out about opportunities to be involved in the filming, we would love to hear from you. There may also be opportunities for people who get involved to take part in the filming itself. This could include contributing to the development of a story, sharing your experiences or potentially appearing in one of the films, depending on the final approach and what feels right for each person. You don’t have to appear on camera to get involved.
To start the process there will be two workshops on Monday 2 and Monday 9 November, 10am-3pm, at our Shipley office. Lunch and refreshements are provided.
For more information please contact Louise Clay [email protected] 01274 449660. To register your interest please complete this https://civicrm.carersresource.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=768&qid=245723 and Louise will confirm your place.

Have you thought about attending one of our Shaping SEND events but not sure whether you should?

Here is what one of our lovely parent carers said about attending last weeks event at the Gateway Centre.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to PFBA for holding the shaping SEND events. As parents we do not get heard; we cant talk to teachers & the SENDCO's are always busy. This platform gives parents the voice that we need. Parents should be the ones who help reshape SEND Bradford
Josh, Sally, Dan only get a clear picture of the barriers that we face once they hear from us directly & that's why these sessions are valuable.

Please do join us at our next event and be heard.
