Icon  Carer network 

The staff carer network is a welcoming community for colleagues who balance their role at work with unpaid caring responsibilities. Whether you care for a family member, friend, partner or dependent, the network provides a safe and supportive space to connect with others who understand the challenges and rewards of caring. Members can share experiences, learn about available support, and contribute ideas to help shape how carers are supported across the Trust. The network meets every couple of months and is chaired by the Trust's Carer Experience Lead. 

How to get involved
