Strength of the Group has expanded from 5 Carers to 30 at present which in current times is vital for those caring for family. We are all ageing Carers which is getting harder as every day passes.
This vital volunteer work from our Carers relies on small amounts of funding which we are very grateful. Looking forward to the coming year to provide the much needed volunteers for care in the elderly community.
Summary:
The Group had a successful year as we have increased our capacity of Carers which in itself has come with its own challenges which we have been successful in looking after the more elderly.
