Andy Rawnsley, Chair of Trustees, Carers Leeds said:
I would like to thank the staff team, volunteers, partners and funding organisations – without whom, none of the impact we collectively make, would be possible. To all the carers out there, providing support to your loved ones – you have my best wishes and respect.
Claire Turner, Chief Executive of Carers Leeds said:
Being an unpaid carer can be rewarding but it can also be challenging. We know that getting the right information, advice and support can help, and this drives everything we do at Carers Leeds.
April 2023 to March 2024 was the second year of Carers Leeds strategy and this report is structured around our priority areas of work. It is fantastic to see our key achievements documented in our impact report. I am so proud of what the Carers Leeds team of staff, volunteers and trustees have done and the impact we have made, over this period.
