Harry Gardner: I’m not alone.
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch your favourite show
And ruffle my hair and say it's bad and tell me there's chocolate in your handbag
And tell me just how much I've grown
And let me know I'm not alone
I remember how you'd come around and see us
And you'd always have the same cup for your tea
Oh that cup sits on the shelf now
Waiting for the day you come back to me oh
We understand good things don't last
But I'd give anything just to see you laugh
Looks like the angels owe me one today
But I stay strong I know it won't be long
Till we see the old days

• Over one third of publicly funded care packages
are commissioned for visits lasting under half an
hour.
• Even a 30 minute visit means that in reality, an
average of only 24 minutes of care can be
provided in that time.
• 90% of organisations have difficulty filling
support worker vacancies
• One third of total staff leave every year

“I loved my job then.
We had a lot less people to work with so we
had a lot more time with folks…
Having a cuppa with someone was as
important in finding out about how they
were. It was then they told us things they
didn’t tell the doctor or their families. It was
then that we could work out how the folks
really were. That’s the big miss I think for
carers today – they simply don’t have time.”
