Focus Group - Carers Walks (online)
2023-11-02 18:00 - 19:15 (Europe/London)
#HaveYourSay
Come to this month’s Focus Group for carers in Salford and let us know what YOU think of our carers walks.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve come for a walk with us before or not, we just want to hear your thoughts on how we can improve them.
We’re particularly keen to hear from carers of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, working carers… the more the merrier.
So bring your ideas and a brew, and you’re welcome to stay afterwards and chat with carers and staff for half an hour too… it’s good to socialise.
To attend, email jemma.houghton@gaddum.org.uk or call 0161 834 6069 (ext 4009).
