| | In September, we held a ticket draw for Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling, following being generously donated tickets. We gave away 6 pairs of tickets to carers and were thrilled to see that they had a fabulous time and a good old boogie! |

"Thank you so much for the opportunity. We had a great day." |

| | Do you know of a business that could support carers?
We are proud to be an official delivery partner of Respitality (short for respite + hospitality): A national initiative designed to give unpaid carers a well-deserved break from their caring role.
Through Respitality, local businesses in the hospitality, tourism and leisure industries generously donate short breaks, day experiences or treats to unpaid carers. This is a fulfilling and powerful way to give back to your local community and help unpaid carers feel seen, supported, and appreciated.
