CARERS of patients with a terminal illness who live in the north east of Glasgow can now sign up to a new six-week workshop giving them support and advice.

Glasgow Confident Caring, run by Marie Curie Cancer Care and Glasgow East End Community Carers, will provide up to 10 carers with the support.

The weekly workshop will be held every Thursday for six weeks between 10am-2pm from Thursday.

The workshop includes lunch, care for the person the carer looks after and transport to the venue at Glasgow East End Community Carers, Academy House, Shettleston Road.

Two clinical nurse specialists from Marie Curie will lead the sessions which complement the Marie Curie Nurse Specialist Service. To find out more or book a place call 0141 557 7515.
