More than 5% of England's working population work in care, and carers face particular demands both physically and emotionally. How can church leaders support the carers in their churches?
In this episode of In:Dependence, Adrian Reynolds (FIEC Head of National Ministries) is joined by Lucy Honeysett (Christians in Care) to discuss how churches and their leaders can support Christians who work in the care sector and care for loved ones in other parts of life.
You can watch a video of this episode on the FIEC website.
