Carers commit to future proofing

First Legal Workshop of 2019

Worcestershire Association of Carers runs legal and financial workshops and Caring with Confidence Sessions in various locations throughout the year.

The first Legal Workshop and first CWC of 2019 was filled with lively discussions about Lasting Powers of Attorney, Wills and Trusts. It was great to see so many carers committing to future proofing. These free Legal sessions are held all around county for carers registered with Worcestershire Association of Carers.
