Carers Week Events

The theme of Carers Week is, “Putting Carers on the Map” and beginning Monday 10th June we will launch events and activities in North Tyneside to recognise and applaud the vital role of carers.

The activities listed below are for carers apart from the Caring for Carers Conference aimed at people who work alongside carers and the Live Music Night for both carers and the person they care for, or for a friend to come along too.
