Breaking News: Have your say on the future of carersâ support services in Leicestershire
Date: Monday, August 12th 2013
Categories: All Leicestershire Activities & Events Groups & Forums
Leicestershire County Council is asking carers to take part in a very important survey to help shape the support services you receive.
They’re interested in finding out what your needs as a carer are, and if these needs are being met by services like Support for Carers, which is funded by the Council.
As you can imagine, it’s really important you have your say, to make sure you get the support services you need in the future, especially with cuts in local services continuing to take place.
The survey is very quick to fill in – you just need to tick your top three priorities from a list of initiatives currently being run in Leicestershire to support carers.
Please download and complete the survey and return it to us via email at [email protected]
Please note, the survey will download as a Microsoft Word document to your desktop or downloads folder.
