We are delighted to announce that Jim Shannon MP, the Member of Parliament for Strangford, has agreed to be the DUP’s Parliamentary Champion for Carers Week 2022.
Responding to the announcement, Jim said:
Unpaid carers are the unsung and hidden heroes in our community. I know many in my constituency who carry out their daily duties with love, compassion and commitment and I am only too aware of the challenges they face each day in caring for others. Carers need care themselves and they rarely share what they experience themselves. Carers need a voice, carers need support and this Carers Week I want to see their place in society recognised for the valuable role that it is."
