Last Few Places Available At Carers Conference

There are just a few places still available on the council’s Carers Conference which promises a day of information and advice for East Riding carers.

The event, which is open to all carers who are registered with the East Riding Carers Support Service, forms part of Carers Week.

Carers week, which takes place from Monday 6 June to Sunday 12 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 focuses on building Carer Friendly Communities – helping all types of communities to help support carers and their families.

The Carers Conference, which takes place on Wednesday 8 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 a series of information sessions and presentations, while during the afternoon carers will be able to relax and browse information stands from a number of organisations including Age UK, British Legion, and Alzheimer’s Society.

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.
