On Wednesday 14th June the Carers Week stand will be onsite at Southside to reward local carers and provide support and advice regarding the services available to those looking after a dependent adult, young person or child with special needs or disabilities.

As well as valuable information there will be a free prize draw for carers to nominate themselves or be nominated by others for a chance to win some fantastic prizes from Southside retailers including 
Cineworld, Chimichanga, Decathlon, Frankie and Benny’s, Holland & Barrett, Kiko Milano, Nandos, Planet Organic, Rosso Pomodoro, Rush Hairdressers, Snappy Snaps, Tiger, Smart Look Beauty, Wagamama, Waitrose and WH Smith.  Plus all nominees will be treated to a beauty makeover at Debenhams.

General Manager, Neil Churchill said, “We are very happy to be supporting this event at Southside alongside many of our retailers. It is so important we acknowledge carers and this event will help provide useful information regarding services which are available to support them. We work extensively with the Family Information Service and their team of Parent Champion volunteers, all of whom are carers to young children with special needs”.

Lucia Daniels, from the Wandsworth Family Information Service said, “We will be on hand between 11-4pm. We welcome Southside’s support as well as that of the many retailers who have donated prizes for this special day.  Whether looking after a dependent adult, young person or child with special needs or disabilities, we think carers deserve recognition for all that they do for loved ones.”
