I should have been at a conference today in London

Postby wendy » 24 Feb 2015, 10:16

I should have been at this important conference in London about carers and the internet. Set up by CUK.

Paul is going to be there, he came to our event in Norwich.

Some kind people are going to talk about us and what we have been doing since 2008 but it still hurts,
I would have loved to have been there.

It is an important day for carers.

someone has just said that unpaid family carers are too busy to learn how to use the internet,
I bet that was someone from CUK who said that.

I have just said once the carer is on the internet, they learn from other carers on Chill.

Whoever said family carers are to busy to learn obviously don't give unpaid carers a moments thought, getting on the Internet is as close to respite/ me time they can get especially on chill.
