In line with Carer's Week, our 'Support Carer's Today' campaign on Devon Connect is a place for Devon's carers to find local support and activities, as well as for new volunteers to find out how they can better support carers: devonconnect.org/campaign/su…
This week is #CarersWeek, a time to put carers on the map.
Carers are often, overlooked, underpaid and unseen, despite their vital work supporting some of society's most vulnerable people. This week and beyond, we must push to ensure they get the support they need.

What does winter mean to you? For many older people, the cold long months aren’t just inconvenient; they are truly distressing.

Who would make a good trustee? You!
Trustees come in many forms: Some want to put their professional skills to use, some hope to learn new things, and others simply wish to give back to a cause they support. Find trustee opportunities across Devon at devonconnect.org/campaign/be…
