Event description
Please join us for AUSTRALIAS BIGGEST CARERS CHRISTMAS LUNCH to acknowledge and appreciate unpaid family Carers
Family Carers are often unable to celebrate Christmas, receive any gifts or have a beautiful lunch due to their caring responsibilities. Working 24/7 can be socially isolating, lonely and disengaging, ultimately affecting carers' mental health and well-being.
This special lunch is to raise awareness and recognise our carers, our real UNSUNG HEROES, who give so much and ask for so little. Carers will be attending from all over Qld, and Australia, and need to be registered with The Carers Foundation Australia. You may REGISTER HERE
We will also be presenting the JOSH ARIENI UNSUNG HERO LEGACY to Carers from each area with a Dream Legacy Experience, sponsored by Mike Arieni from Solar Bollard Lighting.
If you know a carer who deserves recognition, or you are a carer please nominate here:

ABOUT THE CARERS FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA
Established in 2015, The Carers Foundation provides support to Australia’s true unsung heroes – unpaid family carers. These selfless people give up their own lives to care for their loved ones with a disability or illness, often with no choice.
Founding director Ronnie Benbow OAM had always had a burning passion to support Carers since she was a young nurse, when she identified that Carers had worse health conditions than the person they were caring for.
Ronnie saw firsthand the impact of caring when a 15-year-old boy who was caring for his mother (who had experienced a massive stroke), took his own life as he could no longer cope since he was alone and unsupported.
Since then Ronnie has been working tirelessly to support unpaid family carers by providing preventative wellbeing programs with the purpose to avert mental and health crisis breakdowns from compassion fatigue.
