Jockey Club "All Brilliant Carers" Project

No one is born to be a carer. A lot of carers have to give up on their full-time jobs to take care of their families and make many medical decisions, which cause tremendous mental and financial stress. Meanwhile, carers lack the social space to learn about or utilize social resources. However, we believe that the experience of long-term care will be a highlight on the resumes for the carers seeking to return to the workforce. Their experience is a treasure of wisdom and knowledge and a strong back-up for their peers. Care work should be an option, not an obligation. And neither should carers disconnect themselves from society because of their duty of care.
