Whittlesea carers were celebrated during a recent Carers Week expo in Epping North.
Organised by service provider Spectrum, the expo at Creeds Farm Living and Learning Centre provided carers with the opportunity to connect with other carers.
The expo included dance segments, creative expression sessions, fun games, food and guest speakers.
Spectrum chief executive Bernie Nott said this was the first event since COVID and it reinforced the importance of togetherness, diversity and inclusion.
He said carers do a fantastic job in our society and for the community, so it’s only right for us to celebrate them.
“It was a chance to acknowledge carers but also a chance to connect in a social way, spend time and share a meal together and appreciate what we all bring,” he said.
“Amazing reactions from people. There was laughter, smiles and conversations happening from people who never met each other before. People from different cultures and backgrounds talking to each other, there was incredible diversity in the room.”.
