Bute Carers Centre set to open its doors this week

Bute Carers Centre on Tower Street, Rothesay.

Mags Todd, young carers manager for Crossroads Young Carers Cowal and Bute, is delighted to open the centre, and hopes to see locals at the opening. She said: “We’re very excited to have a new Bute Carers Centre for all carers in Bute

“The Carers Centre will offer a place for all carers in Bute to access support, information and advice, young carers’ statements, adult support plans, activities, after-school groups, a break from caring and a cuppa!

“Funded through the Community Fund which has supported Crossroads Young Carers Cowal and Bute since its launch in March 2016, we have been able to respond to the needs of carers on the Isle of Bute.

“Young carers have identified their wish list of things the centre should provide and we hope that as a result the new Bute Carers Centre meets their wishes.

“In celebration of the new Bute Carers Centre we are holding an opening event during Carers Week, on Friday, June 14 between 2-5pm, with a ribbon cutting at 3.30pm to welcome everyone to the Bute Carers Centre.

“We look forward to seeing you there!”
