Carers Week 2024: Are you a Hidden Carer?
Many people are unpaid carers and are not aware of this!Do you support your family member or friend who could not live independently or a fulfilled life without your support? Do you support someone who has a disability, additional support need, drug or alcohol dependency?You could be one of our many hidden carers!
Carers Week runs from 10-16 June 2024, this year, and there is a key focus of "Putting Carers on the Map".
Our aim is to recognise and celebrate the vital contribution made by unpaid carers across the disctrict.
Local people, services, buisnesses, are all encouraged to help make unpaid carers visable, a number of events have been organised to back up this message.
Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership is supporting a programme of activity run by the Falkirk and Clackmannanshire Carers Centre. We could not manage to provide so many wonderful oppertunities without their support!
Across this week the Carers Centre in Bank Street will be hosting an exciting programme of events!
On Monday and Tuesday Carers can book an individual pamper session, please contact Sharlene or Ami for more information on 01324 611510.
