Ashfield hosts event for National Carer’s Week
Ashfield District Council will be celebrating, supporting, and raising awareness of carers with Ashfield Carers Event on Tuesday 7th June during National Carers Week.
The event will take place on Portland Square, Sutton, from 10am to 2pm. Visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of live music from local artists and a school choir. Stall holders from a variety of care organisations are attending to share knowledge and provide support for carers and people in care.
Cllr Rachel Madden, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Health and Wellbeing, said
“National Carers Week is the perfect time to show how much we appreciate the work carers do in supporting individuals across Ashfield. We need to celebrate and thank carers of all ages for the selfless work they undertake and help those that need support but don’t know where to start.
“This event is open to all, whether you are a carer, in care, or just interested to learn more about care work. This is a fantastic opportunity to come together in a supportive and inclusive environment. The Council is committed to supporting carers and care leavers to make the District more supportive, inclusive and a better place to live work and visit.
