We’d really love to hear your stories about how unpaid Carers are becoming more active, how this impacts you, your wellbeing, your family, and your caring role.

Maybe DCA supported you or signposted you to other services? Maybe you accessed these services yourself?

Have you received funding to join a gym?

Maybe you made changes to your daily life to be more active which made differences/led onto bigger changes and outcomes.

Your story may also include barriers you faced.

If you are interested in sharing your journey to become more active, please email Stacey at: Stacey.smith@derbyshirecarers.co.uk
