Carers' Information

Are you a carer for a relative or friend?

Caring can be a lonely job. The Carers’ Resource can offer FREE confidential information, advice and support. They are now running advice sessions on the second floor at Mowbray Square. 

You can contact them by filling in a referral card (available on the display stand near the front entrance) or by phoning 01423 500555. Alternatively discuss referral with your GP or Practice Nurse.
