With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’re recognising and celebrating all the men who care for a family member every day. 💙

Meet Peter, one of our local area coordinators.

Over the last few years, Peter has been caring for his 87-year-old dad, Phillip, as his health needs have changed.

Peter’s story highlights the vital role carers play in helping our loved ones live well and stay connected as they grow older.

To Peter and all the male carers out there giving their time and support: thank you for everything you do!🫶
