This often … More

Creative and Credible: Time and Resources

By Written by Norma Daykin with the Creative and Credible Project Team.

It can be challenging to make time and resources available for evaluation, which can sometimes seem costly in relation to the overall project costs.

Creative and Credible: Good Practice in Evaluation

By Written by Norma Daykin with the Creative and Credible Project Team.

Carers Week takes place in June and aims to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families, communities, workplaces and society throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.

There are 6.5 million people in the UK who are carers. They are looking after a family member or friend who has a disability, mental or physical illness or who needs extra help as they grow older.

Caring can impact on all aspects of life from relationships and health to finances and this should not be underestimated.

Carers and Cinema

There are many ways exhibitors and venues can support carers, from considering accessibility for the people they care for to offering cinema escapism through film, social networks through film groups and screenings, and supporting carers in the workplace.

It’s vitally important that we recognise carers, either as customers, audiences or employees, for the difficulties they may be experiencing, respect them for all they are doing, and provide them with information, support and understanding.
