The
Official Opening of the Carers Centre
We are pleased to announce the Carers
Centre was officially opened by Jane Loudon DL, representing
the Lord Lieutenancy of Kent and Pam Ferris, actress, was in
attendance to talk with carers and visitors to the event.
It was a wonderful opportunity to view the facilities and
identify how the centre can assist carers in the future.

What is Carers'
Support?
Carers’ Support is a voluntary
organisation and an independent charity with a Board of
Trustees, partially funded by social services and other
bodies.
The primary aims are to support and
promote, by any means available, the needs of carers of any
age, whether that person cares for their partner, child,
parent or sibling.
Who is a carer?
Do you know? Are you?
A Carer is someone who has caring
responsibilities for a spouse or parent, sibling, relative, friend, or
neighbour who, due to disability, frailty, illness and/or
vulnerability, cannot manage alone in the community. Carers
care without pay and can be of any age.
The Charity offers encouragement,
information and the emotional support that carers need to
make life easier for both the carers and the person being
cared for.
Carers’ Support also gives the carer the
opportunity to meet with other carers, get their voices heard
and influence change.
