🌟Last week, we had a truly wonderful afternoon with our Bute Carers as we came together to celebrate Carers Week. We enjoyed a lovely meal in Kingarth, where the food was delicious, and we were so well looked after by the staff. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special.

It was a privilege to spend time together, share some laughter, and recognise the incredible difference unpaid carers make to the lives of those they care for 😍

To all our unpaid carers ~ thank you. Your kindness, strength and unwavering dedication never go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for all that you do, today and every day 💙

What a fantastic evening last Thursday celebrating Carers Week! 🎉🐟🧠

❓❓We were delighted to bring carers from across Cowal and Bute together for our Fish Supper & Quiz Night, and what a night it was! There was plenty of laughter, great company, and a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish.

A huge well done to everyone who took part in the quiz – you all did amazingly well and certainly put your knowledge to the test! 🏆👏

We'd also like to say a massive THANK YOU to Paul and Staff at the 51st State for absolutely saving the day and providing delicious fish suppers for our carers in Dunoon after both local chippies closed for a few weeks. The food was fantastic and very much appreciated by everyone. 💙🍽️

Thank you to all the carers who came along and made the evening so special. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves and connecting with one another. Here's to many more events like this! 😊🌟🥳
