CARERS across Gateshead are being invited to attend events in June to help raise awareness about carers' needs and celebrate the work that they do.
All carers, whether looking after a disabled child, an adult with physical or learning disabilities, mental health problems or someone who is frail due to old age, are being invited to come to the free events.
The twice-daily events, organised by the Gateshead Carers Association and Gateshead Council, are being held in Gateshead Town Centre, Ryton and Birtley from June 10 to 14.
Activities will include aromatherapy massage, shiatsu, reflexology, therapists, craft workshops, pampering sessions for men and women, health checks, information, advice and entertainment.
There will also be free food and refreshments for anyone attending the events, which have been organised as part of the national Carers Week.
For further details about the events, contact Pat Smith at the Gateshead Carers Association on 0191-487 5655
