Our Carers Forum and networking afternoon tea took place yesterday afternoon at the Moxy Hotel (Slough) in partnership with Heavenly Desserts and organised by Slough Carers Support. 70 carers across carer groups in Slough attended the event plus staff from SBC and local volunteers. Carers could have a chat with one of the three stalls - Berkshire NHS Wellbeing Service, Debt & Welfare Service (SBC) and Costco. They then enjoyed some hot/cold beverages with cookies and completed their respite surveys. An afternoon tea buffet was served with freshly made croffles, cheesecakes, brownies, pastries, donuts, muffins, samosas, and wraps/sandwiches.

A huge thank you to the Moxy and Heavenly Desserts for the donation of the venue and fabulous afternoon tea, all our carers had a lovely time.
