Carers Lewisham will be holding an event for all carers on Wednesday 8th June 2016 10:00am to 3:00pm at the *Irish Community Centre, 2A Davenport Road, Catford, SE6 2AZ.

There will be community stalls offering advice and information throughout the day.

Local business’ and organisations are invited to attend and show their support for local carers.

This year’s theme for carers week is ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’.

Carer Friendly Communities are places where carers feel supported to look after their family or friends, and recognised as individuals with needs of their own.

Carers UK are asking people to RECOMMEND organisations, services and employers who are already carer friendly and INVITE other organisations to use a checklist to COMMIT to becoming carer friendly.

Building Carer Friendly Communities is not instant, but we’ll get there – brick by brick. Get involved by visiting the website below.
