Carers Week starts on Monday to celebrate the hidden work of more than 6m Britons who care for frail, disabled, or ill loved ones, often with no help or support.
In Thirsk the week, which this year has the theme, Carers...the UK’s Secret Service, is being marked by Thirsk Carers Support who will be holding a coffee morning on June 8, at the White Rose bookshop from 10.30am.
On Thursday, June 11, at 3pm there will be a carers service at the Methodist Church on St James Green.
