This week is Carers Week, an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK.

As part of this event, there will be a fun event taking place in Hallam Square, just outside the Owen building. This event is called ‘Move to the Beat’ and is an exciting, open-air drumming and dance workshop for carers of all ages as well as the general public.

More information about the event can be found here.

Help make Sheffield a carer-friendly city and come and join in or just watch and have fun.
