With Carers Week just around the corner we are looking forward to a fantastic evening of summer classics tonight at Pershore Abbey thanks to Rotary Club of Worcester Severn.
They are raising much needed funds for Worcestershire Association of Carers and Rotary charities.
A huge thank you to them. We can't wait for a wonderful evening of music in a beautiful venue.

Don't forget that during Carers Week we are launching our Broadway Carers Group. Come along and meet like-minded carers for coffee and a chat (and a biscuit or two)
