The theme for Carers' Week 2008 was ...
"Carers can't afford to be ill"
Carers' Week 2008 took place between 9 and 15 June. Our key aims for Carers' Week were to:
- Highlight and celebrate the contribution made by carers.
- Campaign for better support and services for carers.
- Promote policies and best practice that can improve carers’ quality of life.
- Reach out to ‘hidden’ carers, ensuring they know where to find help and support.
Listed below are some of the events undertaken by Cambridgeshire's Carers' Support Team:
- Pub lunches and Carers' Groups.
