I could do with a carer myself as I have severe stage c.o.p.d. However I am carer to my 83 year old mum and it's having a huge impact on my life.

Thanks for sharing GillyJ, unfortunately I think your situation may be a common but overlooked one. Would you be able to talk to us? My colleague Tamara is collecting case studies at the moment to inform the development of BLF's support services and would be interested in speaking to you. Do give her a call or email with your contact details on:
