The Camden Carers Podcast: Recent Episodes
Civic Audio
The Camden Carers Podcast is produced by Camden Carers Service (CCS) and Civic Audio to benefit carers in the London Borough of Camden. Our first run of episodes will provide an overview of CCS and cover some of the key areas in which we can offer carers support. The aim is to communicate vital information that carers can use to access our services.
As part of our broader vision with the podcast, we’ll also be reaching out to record conversations with Camden carers and capture the sounds of interesting events and happenings in the community. The idea is to help carers not only become better informed about how they can improve their lives, but participate in the creation of the podcast and local events it will be covering, as well as develop new social connections in the process
