Join us at the Ramsey 1940's weekend to help us spread awareness of how our Caring Together Charity supports unpaid carers across the region.
We are going to be at the Ramsey 1940's weekend at Huntingdon this year at Wood Lane in Ramsey. We are looking for volunteers to help us collect donations at the gate on the day, as well as spreading awareness of how Caring Together Charity supports unpaid carers across the region.
You will be given all the information you need before the day and a member of the Caring Together staff will always be on hand to help if needed on the day.
We are not expecting anyone to cover the whole day - we are asking for volunteers who can cover from 9am till 1pm or 1pm till 5.30pm.
This is always a fantastic event, with plenty of visitors, live entertainment, vintage vehicles and a brilliant community atmosphere. It's a great opportunity to raise awareness of the support we provide to unpaid carers while having some fun along the way.
If you'd like to really get into the spirit of the weekend, you're very welcome to come dressed in 1940s attire – although it's completely optional!

About Caring Together Charity
Caring Together is a leading charity supporting carers of all ages across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk.
At Caring Together our vision is a world with no unpaid carer in crisis, isolated or struggling alone. You can join us in working to make this vision a reality for people who are looking after a family member or friend.
If you are an unpaid carer, we are here to help you. We are here to give you information and advice, and to provide services and support, to make your caring role more manageable, to benefit you and the person you support.
There are over 150,000 unpaid carers across the region covered by the charity: Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Peterborough, and tens of thousands are caring alone behind closed doors. More than three in five of us will become an unpaid carer at some point in our life. We will look after a family member or friend who needs our help because of illness, disability, poor mental health or addiction. Despite how common caring is, many unpaid carers feel they are on their own.
Unpaid carers often find themselves plunged into a caring role with little warning, and feel completely overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities they shoulder. Many are exhausted from looking after their husband, wife, partner, parent, sibling or child for hours every day, sometimes in addition to trying to hold down a job or bring up children.
We need your help to make sure that even more carers in our local communities receive the practical and emotional support that they need.
Caring Together is a network partner of Carers Trust and has grown significantly over the past ten years, providing more services and more help for family carers and their families across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk.
