About the event:
As part of National Carer’s Week, Kelechi Dibie will be delivering to NU Women an interactive carer awareness session, which will help to highlight the needs of unpaid carers who work at Newcastle University. Alongside the session we will have a number of stalls from organisations who provide support to those with caring roles.
