Later this week, on Thursday 24 November, it is Carers Right Day - a national event, which is run annually, to ensure unpaid carers are aware of their rights, to let them know where to get help and support and to raise awareness of the needs of carers.
Free advice fair and pop-up vaccine hub
Thursday 24 November
10am to 4pm
Exeter Corn Exchange, Market Street, Exeter, EX1 1BW
There's a free information and advice fair specifically for unpaid carers taking place on Thursday 24 November from 10am until 4pm at the Exeter Corn Exchange on Market Street.
Advisors from Devon Carers, who provide carer support on our behalf, will be there, along with other organisations offering information about services which are beneficial to people in their caring role.
If you have any questions or are looking for information or advice about caring, your rights as a carer, or how you can be supported, please pop along for a chat and refreshments.
There will also be a pop-up vaccination hub from 11am to 2pm for any carers who need their COVID-19 vaccination booster. There is no need to book but please note there will only be limited vaccine supplies.
