To ensure carers are accessing the relevant support and services they are entitled.
We work in the community giving talks and presentations to groups and also to people working in health, social care and voluntary sector.

2 - ensure carers are accessing the relevant support and services.
In previous years we have held:

Garden Parties

Information and awareness events in the community such as the Corn Exchange.
Alongside the events DPfC hosts, we also have involvement in events held by other voluntary and statutory agencies by having a stand with information relevant to carers.
