Public Meetings – Carers In Crisis: Ending the Postcode Lottery

April 9, 2019 by Ruaidhrí Kelly

Family Carers Ireland is inviting family carers from across the country to attend one of six upcoming public meetings ‘Carers in Crisis: Ending the Postcode Lottery’ which will take place over the coming weeks.

These events aim to highlight the postcode lottery family carers experience in accessing essential supports and will identify local issues that must be prioritised for action by our elected representatives who have also been invited.

All meetings will take place from 11am until 1pm (with lunch provided) and will include an overview of Family Carers Ireland’s call for a Carers Guarantee, talks from two local family carers about their experience of accessing supports and an open floor discussion involving carers and elected representatives on priority local issues that must be acted on.
