Hereford Journal - suggestions for articles Hereford Journal Editor page here
It is not a condition that I write the articles. Far from it. The aims of the two websites emphasise making things easier for unpaid carers.
Although the main website is barely more than three months old, it is a large site. Here are five prime topics:
Carer Corner
- The Internet is the main source of unpaid carer information and resources
- The need for unpaid carer respite
- Who is a carer?
- What makes a carer?
- Young carers
- Carers who work
1 The Internet is the main source of unpaid carer information and resources
1a
One problem is that of the 5.2 million households without Internet access, the most common reason for not having a connection was that they 'did not need it' (54 per cent). source more
1b
Another problem is that senior citizens may say that they don't need the Internet when they'd prefer not to admit that it is beyond them. "The elderly are increasingly excluded by lack of internet access.". However, the article focuses on care homes. source more
1c
Perhaps the first local step has been taken. See 12 December here. (Another of my carer world websites.)
