Thank you for making our Carers Wellbeing Day a success

To all of the organisations who held a stall in our Carers Market Place and those who facilitated the carers wellbeing workshops, we would like to say a big thank you for helping to make our Carers Wellbeing Day the success it was. We have had some wonderful feedback from carers and organisations alike and will publish the collated feedback in August/September this year. We would also like to say a big thank you to pharmacists Mukesh and Dipak for giving up their time to conduct free carers health checks and take questions; Sara Challice for welcoming carers and sharing her own caring story, and Derek Oliver for entertaining us with his magical talents.
