Carers support day on 14 June

By Cllr Greg Peck

Norfolk County Council is holding a Carers Support Day on Friday 14 June at The Forum in Norwich to recognise and celebrate the huge contribution that carers play in people’s lives and to promote the support available to them from across Norfolk.

The event coincides with Carers Week, a national campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges unpaid carers face and recognising the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.

The County Council will be hosting stalls and events in The Forum throughout the day from 10 am to 4 pm.

An estimated 100,000 people in Norfolk provide unpaid care (that’s around one in nine people).

Carers Week is about connecting carers to their communities and the event at The Forum will be hosting organisations, groups and networks from across Norfolk who can help with the difficulties, stresses and challenges of caring.
