Every caring journey carries a story.
Carers shared the colours, symbols, words, artwork and stories that represented their experiences of caring.
Stories of love.
Strength.
Exhaustion.
Connection.
Sacrifice.
Hope.
And the often unseen work of caring for someone you love.
Those contributions have now been thoughtfully woven together into one final design.
This is the Carers Week scarf.
What is Stories We Carry?
Stories We Carry is Impact Found Here’s national community co-design initiative.
Each project invites a community to contribute artwork, symbols, colours, words and messages of hope that are thoughtfully woven into one collaborative scarf.
Every collection becomes a lasting reminder that no one walks their journey alone and every scarf tells the story of the people who helped create it.
Wear what matters.
The finished scarf is more than something beautiful to wear. It’s a way to carry a story, start a conversation or show another that what they’re experiencing matters.
100% of proceeds help fundraise and create impact for organisations supporting carers.
