Cath Thompson, Occupational Therapist Clinical Specialist at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust said: “We understand how carers improve the lives of others and how much they make a difference through all that they can and do give.

“We recognise all of the difficulties that caring for another person can bring and the café aims to ensure that carers feel that they are supported too.”

If you are a carer who is looking for support, pop in to the Carers Café and have a chat, share, listen and laugh every Tuesday at Orchard, Pathfinders Drive, Lancaster.
