Carer Bonus (2020) - The Unappreciated Carer Podcast With Nightingales Army

COVID-19 Carer Bonus's were promised in 2020 to carer in Wales. However, many carers have actually been left worst off from lost benefits and taxes! COVID-19 has brought tremendous pressure on carers, nurses, and care managers across the UK, in health, wealth, and mental wellbeing. The Welsh Government bonus was a welcome surprise!

In this episode, we are speaking to Elizabeth and Felicity from Nightingales Army who have been speaking to carers around the UK about their personal experience and the challenges that they have been presented with because of Carer Bonus's.
