The Carers' Resource annual fundraising campaign to help support #carers in #Yorkshire.
#Carers look after a relative or friend who has an illness, disability or an addiction. Their role is unpaid and often relentless and 24/7.
Charity @CarersResource, which has offices in Bradford, Skipton and Harrogate, runs an annual #easterchicks fundraising campaign to help fund much-needed breaks for #carers.
Anyone can be a #carer and it can happen suddenly because of a sudden illness or accident, or it can creep up gradually as a parent becomes increasingly frail. #caring can be isolating and overwhelming.
#Carers need breaks so they can recharge their batteries, learn and pursue skills and hobbies, and relax so they can carry on to care with confidence.
The knitted #easterchicks covers are kindly created by our knitting volunteers. 2017 is the tenth year of our chicks and this year's theme is 'all colours of the rainbow'. We've had a regal theme for the Queen's Jubilee, and cycling to mark the #TourdeFrance #GrandDepart.

Time Out for Tea - a Carers' Resource fundraising campaign to support carers and give them a break.
Having a cup of tea with a friend is a pleasure in life.
Invite your friends, family or colleagues round for a cuppa and ask them to make a donation to Carers' Resource to help carers have a break.
This campaign is launched to mark national Carers Week but will be running all year round - carers always need time out.
Contact us on (01423) 500555 or emailinfo@carersresource if you want to take part.

An online forum for carers and older people, launched by the Carers' Resource, a Yorkshire charity.
The online community is part of our Caring Callers project and is about giving carers and older people the chance to chat online to others.
They can share support and stories, information and friendship.
The forum is being launched during Carers Week 2014.
It is an extra form of support that people can access from their home, or wherever they are, at any time.
