There will be a market place where local organisations will be giving information about the services and support they can offer carers, including health and wellbeing advice. The event also offers the opportunity for carers to meet other family carers living in High Peak.

The High Peak Place Alliance partners want to use the event to speak to carers and ask them what they think about the support available to them in the High Peak.

Speakers/demonstrations will include:

• Welfare Rights Service - talking about benefits that carers can claim
• East Midlands Ambulance Service - giving a First Aid demonstration
• Derbyshire Carers Association - talking about how they can support carers
• Derbyshire County Council - talking about the services they commission and provide for carers, plus where carers can find information online.
