Striking the Balance: Carers and the Future

The debate about balancing work and family life goes beyond parental caring for children. In light of our ageing population, care for older family members and family members with an illness or disability is the next frontier in the work and family debate.

Many communities use sport as a way to build peer friendships, and enjoy favourite activities in an atmosphere which is safe and supportive. Some years ago- too many sadly- I enjoyed a bi-annual Australian cricket carnival played between teams of people who were blind or had low vision. This is exactly what is happening at these games, and I trust that the links and friendships built through the activities will be positive and long-standing ones, as they were for me.
