A THANKSGIVING service is being organised by York Carers Forum at York Minster during UK Carers Week.

The 45-minute service will take place in the Quire at 1.30pm on Thursday, June 17, followed by refreshments.

Irene Mace, support officer for York Carers Forum, said it was hoped the Quire would be filled this year. She said: “All carers, those they care for, former carers and those who support carers, including the workers of an organisation, are warmly invited to attend. Our patron, the Rev Canon Glyn Webster, will officiate and the Civic Party will be in attendance.”

Tickets and parking permits are available from Katie Smith, Secretary, York Carers Forum, c/o 13 Hopgrove Lane South, York, YO32 9TG, email yorkcarersforum@tiscali.co.uk or phone 01904 422437.
