Beds Cares! is a chance to discuss and influence research ideas about carer wellbeing into the future.

Has COVID changed how we think about carers? Those people who are family members, friends or neighbours without whom many people’s lives would just not work.

Beds Cares! is a celebration of the informal carers in our Bedfordshire community and a chance to discuss research ideas about carer wellbeing going into the future. The University of Bedfordshire invites all carers in our community: staff who are working carers, student carers and members of the public who are carers to come and join in. So if you are a carer and maybe someone’s brother, sister, mum, dad, wife, husband or friend this event is for you!

Contributors include: Dr Emma Wilkinson & Dr Yannis Pappas (University of Bedfordshire), Dr Jitka Vseteckova (Open University) & Prof Marie-Pierre Moreau (Anglia Ruskin University), Carers in Bedfordshire, the Disability Resource Centre.
