Caring for the Carer

This is a space designed for self-reflection, where carers can go to escape their stressful, high-demanding lives. The space will be somewhere to clear your mind, with both social and independent areas, allowing experiences and advice to be shared as well as taking time to reflect upon yourself. Taking inspiration from Alvar Aalto, there will be a connection with nature through the use of, fresh air and natural light, to allow a calming atmosphere. The space will accommodate both professional and non-professional carers. Other charities and members of the public will be allowed to enter the space, to enhance their own knowledge on carers by learning through stories of the carers via the usage of the space.
