Today we recognise the people who care

Care isn't just about services. It's also about the people who support us every day, including unpaid carers, family members, friends and care workers.

Their experiences matter, and their voices deserve to be heard.

Today, on the International Day of Care and Support, we're recognising the vital role care and support play in our communities.

🗣️ Have you experienced care or supported someone who has? Sharing your experience can help highlight what's working well and where improvements could make a difference: www.hwdpt.org/share-your-views

Today, we’re recognising the important role occupational therapy plays in helping people live as independently and fully as possible.

Have you or someone you know benefited from occupational therapy? We’d love to hear about your experience: www.hwdpt.org/share-your-views
