Angus MacNeil MP this week pledged his support for the 2,660 carers across the Western Isles as part of national Carers Week 2016 awareness campaign,
Mr MacNeil attended a reception at Westminster organised by charities who are calling on individuals, organisations and services to improve the lives of carers by building ‘carer friendly communities’ – encouraging all parts of the community to think about carers and do things differently to support them.
Mr MacNeil said: “Carers make a huge contribution to our society, providing vital and often hidden support to friends and family members. That is why I am supporting Carers Week 2016 and encouraging services across the Western Isles to think about what more they can do to help meet the needs of carers and make our communities more carer friendly.”
