Farron backs Carers Week 2007
Local MP Tim Farron is getting behind this year's Carers Week, 'My Life as a Carer' held from 11th to 17 June. Carers Week raises awareness of the UK's six million carers - people who look after a loved one who is ill, frail or disabled. 'My Life as a Carer' will focus on the impact caring can have on people's finances, career, relationships and health. Events will be taking place across the UK during the Week to help highlight the support and services that are available to carers, regardless of their age or background.
