The Creative Carers group is a time out opportunity open to all unpaid Carers living in Wiltshire.

GREAT TEAM: Alan Tucker with wife Jennifer.
Jennifer, aged 62, believes she would have to be cared for in a home if Alan didn’t look after her.

Jennifer was born three months premature and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a youngster.
She said: “Alan doesn’t like the limelight but I think people should know how good he and other carers are.
