Toby CSR Business Partner, Legal & General
I’ve worked with Carer’s First on a number of different initiatives and have always enjoyed the process. I have found them to be collaborative, open with communication and driven to support both their beneficiaries along with our own colleagues and customers. As care considerations increase in the UK we’re delighted to be able to turn to Carers First to help us prepare for the future.
Legal & General colleagues gifted 1,050 hours from May 2020-May 2021 which is the equivalent value of £22,050.

I really look forward to my weekly calls with the carer I speak to and thoroughly enjoy our wide and varied conversations. I would urge anyone thinking of befriending to get involved; it is so rewarding personally to feel that you’re able to help in some small way, even just by listening and understanding, or by simply asking how they are.
