We're hosting a Community Conversation on the experiences of 'sandwich carers'! You might be a sandwich carer if you provide unpaid care across generations, for example, caring for elderly relatives, partner(s), children at the same time, while balancing care needs and attention. We're supporting research into the unique challenges of this group, and how sandwich carers build resilience through their experiences.
