'Big Well-being event' to be held at Soughton Hall to mark Carers Week

The week's national campaign will be marked with a special wellbeing event, after two consecutive years of online celebrations due to the pandemic.

NEWCIS (North East Wales Carers Information Service) is working in partnership with Outside Lives Ltd. on the event.

The event, hosted at the stunning Soughton Hall on Wednesday, June 15, will be a free fun-packed day with an extensive range of practitioners, therapists, trades and interactive workshops and consultations as well as a chill out zone with refreshments.

It is the perfect opportunity for unpaid carers to explore new wellbeing practices and go away feeling recharged.

Booking in advance is essential, go to www.newcis.org.uk/big-wellbeing-day/ or call NEWCIS on 01352 752525.

NEWCIS is also encouraging carers to get involved with Carers Week in other ways, such as fundraising at local supermarkets, group walks around local areas of scenery, carer support groups and online information sessions. Visit their website to find out how to get involved in your county.

NEWCIS is funded by Flintshire County Council, Denbighshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council – all of which are supporting NEWCIS and Carers Week in their own right.

Claire Sullivan, CEO at NEWCIS, said: “NEWCIS is delighted to be hosting so many events this week to celebrate Carers Week, working with partners across the region.

"We are looking forward to seeing carers at these events which will have lots of information available for them as well as activities. Carers are facing many challenges at the moment so I hope that NEWCIS Carers Week can offer support and enjoyment to all that attend.”
