Carers Link Lancashire

Here at Carers Link Lancashire we are always looking for ways to improve our communication with our registered carers.

If you are registered with us as a carer and you'd like to receive our magazine and monthly e-bulletin via email, with up to date information about our activities, training courses, peer support groups and general Carers Link Lancashire information, make sure that we have the correct email address to contact you with.

Just remember to include your full name, and postcode on the email so we can find you on our systems.✉️

This week our team organised a fantastic activity for carers of someone with ASD and dementia. The group visited the Pendle and Craven Croquet Club in Earby, Lancashire for a lovely afternoon of croquet.

We support unpaid carers across East Lancashire in a variety of different ways including carer assessments, advice, peer support groups, activities and dedicated ASD and Dementia Support Officers. If you'd like to find out more visit our website www.carerslinklancashire.co.uk where you can find our registration form.

We have changed the date for our Food Safari daytrip to The Good Life Project in Nelson, and we have a couple of places remaining. Our trips are for carers registered with Carers Link Lancashire and you can book your place here: https://www.carerslinklancashire.co.uk/food-safari or email [email protected] for more information.

Our new date will be Wednesday 16th July, 10am - 12pm.
£5 per person.

Here's a bit of information about what you can expect on the day:

• Tour the growing spaces to learn how different fruit and vegetables are grown, harvesting and taste the produce as we go along.
• Enjoy a refreshment break, with tea, coffee and herbal teas available.
• Sew seeds for your own salads and herbs to take home and grow on your windowsill.

The Good Life Project is a fantastic place to visit, don't miss out and book your place!
