Cambridgeshire County Council has arranged a series of popular drop-in events for anyone who is:
- Living with a long-term illness or disability
- Providing unpaid support to adult family members or friends who could not manage without this help
- Struggling with an age-related condition
These are continuing through the late summer and early autumn. Each drop-in event will include:
- Information and advice about the support that may be available
- An opportunity for carers to book a one-to-one advice session and/or a carers assessment
- Guest speakers providing information and activities to take part in
- a chance for service users and carers to share their stories and experiences
- The option to talk in confidence with someone from someone from the Carers Support Team or Physical Disability Services Team.
