Caring for carers, the superheroes behind closed doors
This Carers Week, our Welfare Caseworker, Irene Ramsden, tells us why this network of unsung heroes around the UK need more support.
This Carers Week, our Welfare Caseworker, Irene Ramsden, tells us why this network of unsung heroes around the UK need more support. We are proud to be supporting a new website designed to support positive mental health among Scotland's emergency responders. Retained firefighter Richard Bowman has completed a gruelling 24-hour mountain bike ride through the Scottish Highlands to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity. Here he explains why he wanted to say thank you in this way. Last month saw Peterhead’s Red Watch raise an astonishing £6,500 for their #My75Miles challenge – walking along the disused Banff and Buchan railway line to Dyce and back. Two-year-old Jessica is taking part in a sponsored walk to raise money for her heroes in the fire and rescue service.
