The Carers Action Group brings together unpaid carers, York Carers Centre staff, and professionals to discuss key issues, ensuring carers’ voices are heard and their concerns are addressed.
We take action by communicating what matters to relevant agencies, creating opportunities for change and improvements.
This meeting will focus on the new City of York Carers Strategy and York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals Carer Improvement Plan.
We will also be exploring how to better capture the voices of carers through our new website.
We’re always excited to welcome new members – your voice and ideas matter to us!
When: Wednesday 12 February, 10 – 1 pm (includes lunch)
Where: Friends Meeting House, Friargate, York, YO1 9RL
