CARERS across Devon will be uniting next week for the Carers Rights Day.

The event is being marked in Tiverton on Friday November 20 by Unite Carers, who are holding a benefits drop-in session.

Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and explain about entitlements.

It will run at their offices in Bridge Street between 10 am and 1pm.

Roy Grantham, chair of trustees at Unite Carers, said: "Caring can bring all kinds of challenges and we want every carer in Mid Devon to know where to turn for advice, information and support."
