Ahead of Carers Week, the Rev Kate Bottley is in Norfolk, exploring the important role faith plays for those caring for loved ones.
Kate meets Liz Grint, who cares for her husband and son, and finds out how prayer sustains her during the joys and challenges of life. She also visits 13-year-old Malachi and his family to find out how they have all drawn on their faith to care for him throughout his treatment for leukaemia.
In Sheffield, we join a walking group run by a local charity to find out how important it is for carers to look after their own physical and mental health and to meet others with similar experiences. For two of the walkers, it’s also an opportunity for them to share in their Christian faith.
