Welcome back to the 5th in the series of carer activist interviews. I have a special treat for Carers Week 2024 as this time I have gone international and interviewed Bernard Coley who is a strong champion for caregiver activism internationally.

Bernard is a carer and also does a lot of work making the carer visible especially regarding the impact of Parkinsons.

He acknowledges there are many challenges facing those who try to connect with caregivers and these challenges are actually similar over in the UK.

You can watch the interview for free below as Benard talks about how important it is for carers NOT to stay silent about their role. There is also discussion on how members of the black community can make a difference when connecting with carers.
