Carers Rights Day 2024 Thursday 21st November Each year Carers UK promotes Carers Rights Day where hundreds of organisations and thousands of individuals raise awareness of caring, helping to identify carers and signposting them to information, advice and support. This year’s theme is ‘recognising your rights’. You have a right to a healthy life, and we are here to support you in that. We will be hosting an Information Day on the 21st November with various organisations at Carers Link Lancashire, 54-56 Blackburn Rd, Accrington, BB5 1LE. Just drop in!  Carers Meetups Are you a carer looking to join a social group? Do you need some me time and rest bite from your caring role? Then why not come to one of our carers meet ups, all across East Lancashire.  Are you a former Carer? Have you recently lost someone and are looking for some support? On the third Wednesday of every month we run a former carer and bereavement support group for those who are no longer carers and/or have lost the person they once cared for. The next session will be on Wednesday 20th November 2024 11am-1pm Call Angela B on 01254 387444 for more information  Support our Carers Link staff and volunteers running Blackburn 10k!
