Norfolk: Leonard Chesire Disability’s Cycle Event will raise funds for a great cause

 

Ride at Norfolk’s Sandringham Estate will provide a family day out and will raise funds for a great cause

Cycle Together Sandringham will take place on Sunday, June 23 to raise money for respite hotel Park House Hotel.

Organised by national disability charity Leonard Cheshire Disability, the event will see hundreds of cyclists take to the picturesque roads around north-west Norfolk, taking in recognisable landmarks including Sandringham Estate, Holkham and Houghton Halls and Bircham Windmill.

Viewpoint: Should the parents of young carers get the support?

Do young carers need support?

It emerged last week in a report by The Children’s Society that there are almost 250,000 young carers in the UK. But do we need to shift the focus to the parents?

Disabled people are facing a weekend of upheaval after their carers voted to go out on strike.

 

Unison say 114 of its members will stage a three-day walk-out in a row over terms and conditions, starting this Saturday.

Unison’s strike will run from 8am on Saturday to 8am on Tuesday May 28.
