UNPAID carers in Inverclyde are being called upon to share their stories and experiences as part of the Caring Matters Week initiative.

Carers Gateway Inverclyde has reached out to unpaid carers, inviting them to participate in a live programme dedicated to them on BBC Radio Scotland.

The programme, hosted by Connie McLaughlin, will air on BBC Radio Scotland Mornings on Tuesday, May 26, from 10am to 12pm, tackling the real-life experiences of unpaid carers.

This includes discussions on the challenges and rewards of caring, balancing work or education, and getting the support they need, including financial advice tailored specifically for carers.

Those interested can join the live audience in Glasgow or contribute remotely by phone or video, even for a part of the show.

Carers Gateway has asked those interested to register by emailing Andy at Carers Gateway on info@carersgateway.co.uk, or calling 01475 602700.
