Concert to pay tribute to carers

During January, I attended memorable concerts hosted by Celtic Connections. One of the most significant events was the Concert for Alliance Scotland on 20th January. It was a great success featuring various artists who gave their support to carers and their families, along with the professionals that support them. 

The vision of the Alliance Scotland for the concert:
"is for a Scotland where people of all ages who are disabled or living with long-term conditions, and unpaid carers, have a strong voice and enjoy their right to live well, as equal and active citizens".

During the interval, it was possible to gather useful information and advice from various organisations providing support to carers.

It was a really enjoyable gathering which gave a boost to people involved in caring. I hope this event will encourage other groups to organise similar concerts for carers in the year ahead. Let's hope a concert for Carers can become a regular part of Celtic Connections.
