Pray for carers
Pray for the newly opened Carer’s Centre in Luton offering advice, information and emotional support to Luton residents who devote time to helping ill, frail or disabled family or friends.
Pray for those at experiencing great stress: Research presented during Carers week in June indicate that 74% of carers have reached breaking point due to the pressures of their caring role.
Pray for an improvement in the bureaucracy – the complexity of procedures required to access welfare benefits, healthcare and social services is a major source of stress to many carers.
Pray for carers to have practical support and the chance to take regular breaks, and opportunities to catch up on sleep.
Pray for an increase in the carers allowance as many give up their jobs in order to care.
Pray for people you know who are caring for others at home or in the community.
