Minority Ethnic Carers in the Burnley Pendle and Rossendale are celebrating the news of a major grant to the Carers Link charity for a Carers' Support and Activities Project.
Carers Link is a network centre of The Princess Royal Trust for Carers. It provides information, advice, training and social activities for carers who look after disabled, sick or elderly relatives or friends in Hyndburn and Ribble Valley. They have specific bi-lingual Minority Ethnic Development Workers who also cover Burnley Pendle & Rossendale.
The Community Fund award of £300,000, over 3 years, will enable Carers Link to offer more outreach one-to-one support, drop-in sessions, information, training and social activities for carers.
