Speakers for May Carer Involvement Meetings announced
Our Carer Involvement meetings are an opportunity for Carers to come together with Carers and organisations working in the local area to share feedback about services. They also offer the chance for Carers to connect and gain valuable information about support and activities in the local area. They are split into 5 areas across Norfolk & Waveney and take place on Thursdays from 12.30-2.30pm
As all meetings are able to be joined via Zoom, Carers are very welcome to attend a meeting outside of their area if they are interested in the speaker.
