HELP available for carers will be outlined at an event in Sutton.

Oliver Mawdsley, from the Department for Work and Pensions, will talk about the carers' allowance.

And speakers from Age UK and Carers' Resource will cover issues including keeping warm in winter and looking after yourself.

Refreshments will be served.

The event – at Sutton Community Centre on Thursday, November 20 – is being organised by the Age UK Village Agents project, which supports older people experiencing isolation.

It is funded by Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group.

A spokesman said: "One of our priority areas in supporting older people is looking after carers.

"The work carers do is phenomenally high but more problems are experienced when carers suffer isolation."
