A special event for carers in Cornwall is being held at the St Austell One Stop Shop on Friday, November 25 as part of this year’s Carers Rights Day.

Carers are being invited to drop-in to the One Stop Shop between 11am and 2pm to meet local service providers. 

Representatives from a range of organisations and agencies, including Job Centre Plus, Community Energy Plus, Alfi, Tremorvah, Kernow Carers Service, Family Information Service (FIS) and Adult Social Services Carer’s Assessment team will be on hand to offer valuable information and advice on support available.

Following the recent launch of Kernow Carers Service, the event will also provide an opportunity for carers to meet some of the Service’s support workers, who can offer information on a range of topics including advocacy, grants, planning for the future, activities, events and training.

The Service also organises short breaks for young carers and holds the Carers’ Register.

For further information, please contact Kernow Carers Service on 0800 587 8191.
