Residents in Derby who support a family member, friend or neighbour are being invited to a free Carers Week information and advice event at Derby Market Hall on Tuesday 9 June.
The Derby City Carers Week information and advice event runs from 11am to 3pm and is open to anyone helping someone who could not manage without their assistance. That includes people caring because of illness, disability, mental health issues or addiction.
Organised by the Derby City Council Neighbourhoods team, the event is designed to connect unpaid carers with advice, local services and practical support in one place.
Free advice at Derby Market Hall on Tuesday 9 June
The event will take place at Derby Market Hall, Derby, from 11am until 3pm. Entry is free, and the council says it is open to unpaid carers across the city.
Many people who provide regular help at home or in the community may not describe themselves as carers. The event is aimed at those residents as well as people already linked into caring support networks.

More than 50 organisations due to attend
More than 50 organisations and services are expected at the Derby Market Hall event, alongside presentations and information stalls.
The support on offer is intended to cover a range of caring responsibilities. The source notice highlights carers who support people because of illness, disability, mental health issues or addiction.
Councillor Sarah Chambers, Cabinet Member for Cost of Living, Equalities and Communities, said the event would help residents discover support, advice and services available to them. She said many carers do not always see themselves as carers, adding that help is available for wellbeing, finances and caring responsibilities.
For readers looking beyond Derby, similar Carers Week support events have also been publicised elsewhere, including free carer support in Milton Keynes.
Access support available at the event
British Sign Language interpretation will be available at the Derby event. The council notice also says translations in multiple languages will be available to help make the event accessible to more residents.
No booking requirement is stated in the source information. The notice describes the event as open to anyone who helps support someone who could not manage without their assistance.
Residents who are unsure whether the term unpaid carer applies to them may still fit the audience described by the council: someone regularly helping a family member, friend or neighbour with daily life because that person needs support.
