How your church can care for carers

There are so many ways to provide practical support for carers.

Kids in care need a lot of focused time with their carers. Sometimes seemingly simple things can go a long way to help carry the load for carers who are giving their lives to providing nurturing, healing, care for children, which is not without unknowns, risks and a significant investment of time, energy, and emotion.

Your church can be a significant source of support for carers who are living on mission, 24-7.
