We spent a brilliant day at the annual Visiting Angels conference in Warwickshire.
Some of the highlights included our guest speaker Jimmy McLoughlin OBE, whose insights gave us plenty to think about.
We also had a genuinely moving conversation with another guest speaker Kate Garraway OBE, who talked to us about her family’s experience of long Covid and the vital role that consistent, reliable carers played in supporting both her husband Derek and their whole family.
Kate’s message was clear: great care changes lives, and carers themselves need to be supported, valued, and looked after. That’s something we firmly believe at Visiting Angels, and it’s at the heart of how we run our service in Leeds & Wakefield. ❤️
