Update January 2021

During January Furness Carers staff have been reviewing how we can improve the support we give through virtual platforms. On a weekly basis we have ran successful on-line Young Carers Groups and have some great and exciting things for the February half-term break.

For Adult and Parent Carers we are running a weekly virtual Carers Café starting on Thursday 4^th February, 11am – 12pm, this has been designed to connect Carers on-line in the Furness and Ulverston areas.
