Carers Week - 13th - 19th June 2011

Carers Week in 2011 will be all about The True Face of Carers.

 How hard is life as a carer? Or how easy? How much help do carers actually receive from statutory agencies and government, local and national? Or should that be how little?  How do carers think society sees them? What is the reality of caring in the UK in 2011? What are the biggest surprises that you and I encounter when we become carers? What can really make a difference to carers lives? Is it money? Or something else? Is caring a perpetual struggle with no thanks and no recognition? Or a richly-rewarding experience that brings out the best in the human spirit? All this and more will be revealed during 13-19 June 2011 Carers will be centre-stage during the biggest awareness week in the UK. We will reveal the truth and sweep away the myths. ome along to one of our events and activities across Castle Point, Rochford and Southend during Carers week.  Click on the poster to download details.  We look forward to seeing you.
