It’s Carers’ Rights Day on 25th Novem-ber, a chance to raise awareness of unpaid carers and their rights to support, so Action for Carers Surrey is holding a week of special events. If you’re looking after a relative or friend who couldn’t manage without you, you’re ‘a carer’. Action for Carers helps Surrey’s unpaid carers of all ages, with free information, practical help, emotional support, events and advice. Come along to our Carers’ Fair at Christ Church, Wo-king on Saturday 27th (10am-2pm) to meet ACS staff and find out how they can help carers, along with other useful organisations, services and charities. There will also be fairs at Leather-head (24th), Redhill (26th) and Guildford (27th). Professor Luke Clements, respected cam-paigner on carers’ rights, will giving two talks and advice (via Zoom 23rd, 10.30am and 25th, 7pm).
Other highlights in November are a Remembrance Tour of Brookwood Cemetery (10th) of interest to carers with armed forces connections past or present, and a chance to visit Hampton Court Palace. Our usual events continue, including a wide range of support groups both in per-son and on Zoom. Our regular support group at The Vyne, Woking is on 1st (10am) and our other events run from practical emergency planning to mindfulness.
