​Join us for lots of activities during Carers Week

The hundreds of Bury people who provide unpaid care to the most vulnerable can take part in wide range of activities during Carers Week (8-14 June).

This year, the coronavirus outbreak has put even more challenges on carers as they take onmore responsibilities for relatives and friends who are disabled, ill or older and who need support.

During Carers Week, Bury Carers Hub is offering local carers the opportunity to join them for a range of daily activities: from online exercises and cooking to arts, music and quizzes.

All activities are online and can be accessed through the Zoom video communications platform.
