Lesley, who is a carer with Rowans Care Agency, said: ‘I love my job because no two days are the same and our lovely clients give us such a warm welcome that I always look forward to seeing them.
‘I chose to go into care because I wanted a job where I could make a difference and hopefully that’s what I do.’
The week will have reflexology sessions, coffee and chat mornings and advice by psychologists. For a full schedule visit rowanshospice.co.uk/carersweek.
