Ireland is calling on communities across Clare to step up and stand in solidarity with family carers by taking part in Step Up for Family Carers, a 5km fundraising walk on Sunday, April 13th.
Every day, Ireland’s 500,000 family carers provide unwavering support to loved ones—often without recognition or adequate support. This nationwide event will raise vital funds and awareness to ensure that Family Carers Ireland can continue to be there for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.
A walk will take place in Clare (Lee’s Road), along with 10 other locations nationwide.
To find out more, Alan Morrissey was joined by Fiona Hartigan, Carer Supports Manager for Family Carers Ireland in Clare.
