Do you know an unpaid carer? Do you look after someone?
The London Borough of Hounslow, in partnership with voluntary and community partners, is proud to host a special free event for local unpaid carers.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to share experiences, learn about the support available in the borough, and participate in free activities.
