Rebecca introduces this brand new podcast for carers by carers!
Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Brilliant and informative podcast for carers. Rebecca does an amazing job of presenting each episode and I continue to learn each time I listen. Great idea and well done!
Love this podcast
I’m loving listening to these episodes. As a carer myself it is so nice to hear from other people in similar scenarios. Rebecca is a great host and I can’t wait for more episodes.
Fantastic new podcast
A great podcast for carers or people with new caring responsibilities. It is so important for carers to know there are other people out there as it can feel so isolating! Can't wait for more episodes
