| Annotation | The Age Awareness project was set up in 1995 by Methodist Homes for the Aged and the Christian Council on Ageing, facilitated by a grant from the Sir Halley Stewart Trust. The main objective of the project is to increase the understanding of the spiritual needs of older people. In this ninth out of ten booklets, case studies are used to clarify the roles, difficulties and needs of informal carers. The fulfilment that caring can bring is acknowledged, however, those who care for someone 24 hours a day may feel physically exhausted, emotionally drained, socially isolated, and spiritually debilitated. Sources of help are identified in the professionals, voluntary organisations, and the local church. (AKM). |
