We don’t like to think about it - but
we should – so that we can plan properly for thefuture while living fully for
today. Otherwise our loved ones can find themselves in the distressing and
expensive situation of having to apply to a court for the right to manage our affairs if we can’t do so
ourselves any more.
By planning ahead we can set up a
Lasting Power of Attorney so that those we trustcan look after our best
interests if we lose our decision-making abilities. There’s lots we can do now to support
carers and frailer members of our community, improve understanding, and stay as
healthy as possible.
The session offers:
Chance to hear carers’ experiences,
share your own & ask questions
Free entry and tea/coffee – donations
towards costs welcome
Registration and refreshments from
10:00am
