SHIPLEY charity Carers' Resource is working with the University of Bradford to offer support to staff and students who care for loved ones.

Carers' Resource runs integrated carers services for unpaid carers and is leading a project with the University to ensure everybody on campus who is a carer is offered the extra support.

Liz Horgan, HR business manager at the university, said: "The university takes the wellbeing of its staff and students very seriously and we realise there will be a number of carers within our campus community, some may not recognise themselves as such, or will not be aware of the services available to them."

As part of the partnership, the Carers' Resource will be on campus to raise awareness on Wednesday, June 10, between 11am and 3pm as part of national Carers' Week.

Members of the charity will be on hand to talk about the diverse range of support they offer including personal development, career guidance and advice for those juggling work and education.

Stella Elson, Carers’ Resource service manager, said: "The theme of this year’s national Carers' Week is ‘Helping Build Carer-Friendly Communities’ so it’s very fitting for us to be raising awareness on site at the heart of the university’s community.
