Two women are pictured side by side, each smiling. The woman on the left, The Bishop of London, wears religious attire with a purple clerical collar. The woman on the right, Helen Walker, wears glasses and a blazer. Between them is a red microphone icon with sound waves. Below, a red oval with white text reads: "Caring for the Carers: a conversation between the Bishop of London and Carers UK's Helen Walker."
Our Chief Executive, Helen Walker, recently sat down with Rt Hon & Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally for a powerful conversation about the realities facing the UK’s unpaid carers.
