It’s Carers Week this week, recognising the contribution of the 1 in 8 people who care for a family member, friend or neighbour. Here in Liverpool there are over 50,000 carers and 1 in 12 secondary school pupils are carers. We spoke to the team at Liverpool Carers Centre at Local Solutions to find out their top tips for carers.

The ‘mytime’ initiative has been featured by Good News Liverpool who have highlighted our new partnership with Leasowe Castle. Leasowe Castle is the latest hotel to get on board by agreeing to host carers who need an overnight break and decided to get involved, to coincide with Carers Week.
