The theme for this year's Carers Rights Day was “MoneyMatters” and an event was held at the Carers Forum to provide information, advice and support for carers facing difficult financial situations. The event was attended by Moira Goodey, Manager Carer Support and Simon Wright MP Norwich South also came along to offer support. Many carers across central Norfolk struggle with the additional costs that caring can bring and Carers UK figures show that over 47% of carers experience mental health problems of their own.
