GREATER Manchester West Mental Health Foundation Trust is organising events for carers as part of the National Carers Week.

The Trust will be providing information stands, running coffee mornings and events with local care centres across Greater Manchester.

The new initiative in this year’s campaign is called Carers Week Quest and it aims to encourage local organisations to reach out to carers providing them with services they may not be aware of.

Free training courses for carers will be running from July 10 to August 14 at Eccles Gateway, 28 Barton Lane, Eccles, Manchester M30 OTU.
