Listening to Carers 2012
The Carers Association recently carried out a series of 'Listening to Carers' forums in strategic locations during March and April.
These forums gave you, the Carer, an opportunity to tell us what you would like to have included in your National Carers Strategy. The meetings also afforded you an opportunity to feed into your organisation’s Strategic Plan by giving us your thoughts on how the Association can best continue to support and advocate for Ireland’s Family Carers.
If you could not attend and would like to contribute to the learnings, please fill out this online submission form.
