Silver Chain's Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre will be holding a Luncheon on Wednesday 19 October 2011, from 11:00am - 2:00pm at Kingsbury Park in Kalgoorlie to celebrate carers as part of Carer's Week.
Ms Gloria Moyle, Silver Chain Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Co-ordinator, notes that Carers Week is a week for all Australians to reflect on the contribution of unpaid family carers in their community and to consider doing something in return for a carer they know.
"Carers Week 2011 runs from 16 - 22 October 2011 and is Australia's annual celebration of family carers. Each year, thousands of Australians take the time to recognise the wonderful contribution that carers make and this year, we encourage everyone to support the amazing work that they do and their valuable contribution to the community," said Ms Moyle.
"Carers Week aims to recognise, support and celebrate Australia's carers and our Luncheon aims to celebrate the wonderful carers in Kalgoorlie. There will be entertainment from the South Kalgoorlie Primary School Choir and H2J Performing Arts Centre in what will be a fun day for carers and care recipients."
