Some days, the work of our Carer Support Workers can be very challenging. Dealing with complicated issues and helping carers navigate difficult circumstances. And other days... the work involves making a rather fetching lady bird hat in preparation for the family fun day tomorrow! Who's joining us?

Happy to everyone looking after a friend living with dementia, illness, disability, mental health issues or a substance misuse problem. Get in touch if you need any support, information or advice on 0113 380 4300.

Does your child have a disability or additional needs? Come and join us at our parent carer family fun day next week. We'll have entertainment from Shabang!, drinks and snacks from the team at Cafe21 and lots of games to play: https://www.carersleeds.org.uk/event/parent-carer-fun-day/
