Three local organisations will join forces to present the drop-in between 10am and 3pm at the offices of Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin on the corner of Claremont Street and Bellstone, Shrewsbury.

Alzheimer’s Society and Shropshire Carers Support – a dedicated carers support team within Shropshire Council - will join with Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin to offer a host of important information and advice. 

“Whether you’re new to caring or you’ve been caring for a while, please come along to our free advice session,” said the charity’s Wellbeing Services Manager Emma Wilde. “There will be lots of good advice on offer and it’ll be great to chat with people about the sorts of support available.”

A spokesperson for Shropshire Carers Support said: “Our vision is to enable carers to live their best lives by providing timely and quality information and support.”
