Dance to the music 🎶

Hello First name / Friend,,

It’s the final week of the Carers UK takeover! A huge thank you to the Carers UK members who have sparked our creativity throughout the month, and to you for taking part.

Carers UK support, advocate for, champion and connect carers across the UK, so that no one has to care alone. Their key services and vital support provide a lifeline to unpaid carers at a time when they most need it.

Last week we caught up with Carers UK member Maz.

Maz co-designed the challenges in the takeover, along with other Carers UK members. She joins Yashoda to chat about the impact creativity and the support from Carers UK has on her.

"If (carers) take that little bit of time (for creativity) they can give more to the people they are caring for"

Use music to invite joy into your life or someone else's today.

You could write a song for someone or make a rhythm using the objects you have around you. You could put on your favourite song and take a moment to reflect on the memories it brings back, sing or dance along to it like no-one is watching. Or put pen to paper in the space below and see what the sounds inspire you to draw!
