Carers' Week, June 9th - 15th  

June 2025

Dear Friends,

Over six million people in this country are ‘carers’ – that is, they provide unpaid care to someone they know. That used to include me, and it may include you. In fact, it is estimated that three out of five people in this country will be carers at some point in their lives.

One of the things that impresses me about life in our villages is the number of people I see who give significant care and help, not only to members of their family, but also to friends and neighbours as well. And I find that they usually prefer to do it quietly, and with a minimum of fuss or attention, but that may mean that they miss out on help and support that could make a great difference for them, and the people they care for.

I am often humbled by the quality of care I see going on around me, both from paid workers and from willing volunteers. I give thanks for that, and I remember that Jesus said, in one of his parables:
      " Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me".  (Matthew 25. 40)

Revd John Waller
