Councillor Anne-Marie Sonko, Warwickshire County Council’s Portfolio Holder for Social Care and Health, said: "Unpaid carers play an absolutely vital role in our communities, dedicating so much of their time and energy to supporting loved ones. We recognise that while caring is incredibly rewarding, it can also be deeply challenging, which is why it is essential that we listen directly to those with lived experience.
"These workshops are a fantastic opportunity for carers across Warwickshire to make their voices heard. By sharing what matters most to them, carers will directly influence how we develop and improve support services moving forward. Whether you can join us at one of our local community venues or prefer to log in online, I strongly encourage you to book a free place and help us shape a better future for care in Warwickshire."
