The Carers' Network was established in 2020 to bring staff together in a welcoming space to support each other, share experiences and information, and feedback to the University on relevant matters.

The lunch, held in the Isdell Courtyard, included a short welcome from Mr Conor Curran, Head of Diversity and Inclusion at Queen's, and Dr Lisa Bradley, Senior Lecturer (Education) in Finance at Queen's Management School, as well as a speech by an unpaid carer.

Members of the Carers' Network enjoyed their first face-to-face event since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the chance to meet with familiar faces and names from the number of virtual sessions and catch-ups the network has hosted during the pandemic.
