It's Carers Week and to help raise awareness...I've been on the...radio!
It was the CallKaye show. It's a BBC Radio Scotland show with Kaye Adams, who's a well known journalist here in Scotland.
...and the topic?
Who Cares for Scotland's Carers?
Well, I thought about it, I'm concious Coo doesn't really like me sharing too much of our lives, but... on balance and with a topic like that, I had to be involved didn't I!
It went well, I was only on the air for the last few minutes but I did pack a lot in! and I'm glad I did decide to do this as it really helps raise the profile of Caring issues in general and, in my book, that can only ever be a good thing!
I hope by keeping up the pressure and speaking out for Carers, one day, we can all get a better service and the support we so desperately need!
Keep fighting the good fight and don't lose heart, surely better days must be coming soon!
