Our Carers Support Team hosted three Carers Carol Services across the Western Trust area this month to say a huge thank you to our unpaid carers for their unwavering care and support to their loved ones throughout the year.

Over 200 unpaid carers were able to take a few hours out of their caring roles to connect with other carers and take part in the annual Carers Carol Services which was kindly supported by the local clergy and school choirs.

Geraldine McLaughlin, Western Trust Carers Coordinator said:

Carers at the Killyhevlin for the Carers Carol Service“For many informal carers who not get the chance to attend their local place of worship on a regular basis due to the demands of their caring role this is a wonderful opportunity for them to connect with others and enjoy the carols in a fun and relaxed setting.

“The events concluded with a delicious Christmas lunch at the Silverbirch Hotel, Omagh; Killyhevlin Hotel, Enniskillen and White Horse Hotel, Derry/Londonderry and.
