Carers who are registered with the East Riding Carers Support Service are invited to book their place on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Carers Conference which will be held as part of Carers Week.
Carers Week, from Monday 8 June to Sunday 14 June, is an annual campaign that raises awareness of caring, highlights the challenges that carers face, and recognises the contribution they make to families and communities across the UK.
This year’s Carers Week is focusing on building carer friendly communities to support carers in looking after their loved ones well, while recognising that they are also individuals with needs of their own.
The East Riding Carers Support Service’s annual Carers Conference, which takes place on Thursday 11 June, recognises and celebrates the invaluable contribution that carers make to the people they care for and their communities.
The morning will be dedicated to information sessions and during the afternoon carers will be able to relax and enjoy complimentary therapies, while also having the chance to browse information stands.
Carers are encouraged to take the opportunity to chat to other carers and gather information from the professionals and organisations who will be attending.
Coleen Ellis, East Riding Carers Support Service manager, said:
“The Carers Conference is always a well supported event which gives carers from across the East Riding the opportunity to find out more about the support that is available to them, as well as the opportunity to take some time out and relax.
“We are very much looking forward to the conference and we look forward to seeing you there.”
The Carers Conference will be held at Tickton Grange Hotel, Main Street, Tickton, Beverley, HU17 9SH. Registration starts at 9.45am and the day will come to a close at 3.30pm.
