Are you a carer?

You can get help and support if you're responsible for looking after someone who has a disability, is getting old or has become ill.

It's , a week to highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the amazing contributions they make! Also to help those with caring responsibilities identify as carers and access the support that's available to them.

For Volunteer's Week, we have had the pleasure of visits from members of George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust Board.

It is an absolute pleasure to highlight how essential are volunteers are, how incredible they are and how lost we would be without them.

We thank them all the time, but this week we would like to just say THANK YOU again.
