Derbyshire County Council Cabinet Member for Adult Care Councillor Natalie Hoy said: “Derbyshire carers play an invaluable role, supporting and looking after their loved ones and in return, we’re committed to looking after them.
“It’s important that we give them the help and support they need as well as recognising the contribution they make on a daily basis.
“We hope people will come along to the events and use this opportunity to make useful connections and find out what support is available for them locally.”
