2 Dear all, Carers week is fast approaching and runs from 11th-15th June. The theme this year is looking at all the ways we can support carers to stay Healthy and Connected. Building communities which support carers to look after their loved ones well, while recognising that they are individuals with health and wellbeing needs of their own. Currently 1 in 8 of us are carers and the aim is to reach out to the thousands of carers that are missing out on advice, information, support and services as well as acknowledging all carers commitment. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. Best Wishes Kerry Hearsey MBE Every effort is made to ensure that the information provided in this newsletter is accurate.
