Calling all Carers! We Need Your Help! Are you caring for: A person in a physically frail condition, a person with short-term memory loss or a person with a mental health problem? Age Concern Almanzora are hoping to develop their services to older people living in the area by developing Carers Support networks and activities. We realize that the role of carer can be physically and emotionally demanding and that everyone’s experience is different. That’s why we need your help – to tell us the ways in which we can offer you the most effective support. We are holding our first Carers meeting at 11.00am on Friday 15th March, in Maloan’s bar, Arboleas (we are using their side room), and we do hope you can come & join us to discuss how we can best support you. We realize, of course, that it is not always possible, as a carer, to attend meetings, but we still value your ideas and opinions. So you are welcome to contact us on: 634 333544 or ageconcernalmanzora @live.com.
