The first ever 'Care Fest', which will be held at The Cuttings on Wednesday, August 3 from 3pm till 4.30pm and 5pm till 6.30pm is open to the public and has been organised by the care team at Harrogate Neighbours in response to feedback from people caring for loved ones not being able to access the right information and support when needed.

The event will welcome a host of local experts who will provide information and guidance on all aspects of the journey into care, from before, during and sadly after a bereavement.
