PEOPLE who provide unpaid care for loved ones can get support at a special event.
The Carers’ Information Day, which will give carers a chance to find out about services, is to be held at the Civic Suite, Catford Road, Catford, from 11.30am to 3pm on Thursday.
Cabinet member for social care and health Councillor Mike Holder said: “A range of services is available, including practical help, advice, training, financial benefits and short breaks.” A carers’ guide put together by Lewisham Council, University Hospital Lewisham, Lewisham Primary Care Trust and South London & Maudsley NHS Trust, can be ordered by calling Hilary Johnston at Lewisham Council on 020 8314 3863 or emailing hilary.johnston@lewisham.gov.uk
