Bluebird Care and The Princess Royal Trust partner to reward local family carers as part of National Carers Week

Bluebird Care, Hampshire’s multi-award winning home care provider, have announced a partnership with The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Hampshire (PRTCH) to create and host a programme of Pamper Days and Special Treat events for family carers throughout the local area.

 

The Pamper Day programme consists of four wonderful, free events for local family carers and will take place during National Carers Week. National Carers Week this year runs from 6th-12th June 2016, along the theme of ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities.’ Communities which support carers to look after their family and friends well, while recognising they themselves are individuals with needs of their own.

 

National Carers Week is an annual campaign which aims to raise the awareness of caring, highlighting the challenges carers face and recognising the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the Hampshire area.

 

Bluebird Care are delighted to now be working in partnership with the PRTCH to provide memorable and well deserved days out for local family carers to enjoy. Bluebird Care will be providing transport to and from each of the events and are offering respite care to enable family carers to receive some well needed care and pampering themselves.

 

Claire Murphy, Owner & Director of Bluebird Care, said:

Having worked with the PRTCH over the past four years on the Emergency Planning Service, it’s wonderful to extend our partnership to work together for National Carers Week. We at Bluebird Care are committed to building carer friendly communities and these Pamper Days will give hundreds of family carers a treat that they truly deserve.”
