Choosing to Care
Mark Tully presents an edition of Something Understood discussing the choices surrounding voluntary care, both from the point of view of carers and of those they care for.
The choice to care or be cared for is one that faces over half of us and some stage in our lives.
Mark Tully presents an edition of Something Understood to explore that choice and to discuss the emotional, practical and spiritual costs and rewards of caring and being cared for. He examines the benefits and the responsibilities felt within such relationships in the company of Jean and Geoffrey Almond, a couple living with the consequences of Multiple Sclerosis, and with poetry by a variety of carers as well as music from Shostakovich, Elmer Bernstein and folk-singer Kate Rusby.
The readers are Kenneth Cranham and Isla Blair
The producer is Frank Stirling
