Are you Disabled and a Carer?

Are you Disabled and a Carer?

If you are an 18+ years old disabled person who has experienced caregiving in some form while receiving some form of care yourself Charlie Grosset , a PhD student at the University of Sheffield would like to interview you for his research.

Charlie, who has family experience of disability and care and has volunteered at Disability Sheffield in the past explains :

“Usually disabled people are solely seen as people being cared for by someone else. I want to show that disabled people also have life experience of being a carer and that we can learn a lot about care practice from the perspective of disabled people. I’d like to ask how you feel about caregiving and being cared for, what support you are getting or would like to have and your life experience of care. I will be taking these experiences and putting together key recommendations for carer organisations in the UK.

If you are interested in taking part, please contact me by emailing cpgrosset1@sheffield.ac.uk or my work phone number 07375 856472. Once I have received an email or phone call, I will be in touch with more information. You will be given a £50 voucher for participation in this project. Thank you “

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
