CARERS Day was held at Prestwick Academy on Friday, October 5, recognising carers and the contribution they make to their families and communities.
Carers from all round South Ayrshire were invited for the first time, including people from Ayr North and Troon.
Guests were treated to an afternoon themed around the 100th anniversary of the end the First World War and included entertainment as well as lunch and relaxing activities.
To help raise awareness of available local networks the event was supported by the South Ayrshire Health and Social Care Partnership; Crossroads; South Ayrshire Carers Centre; South Ayrshire Dementia Support Association; and South Ayrshire Life.
Councillor Douglas Campbell said: “I’d like to thank the staff and young people at Prestwick Academy for working so hard behind the scenes to make this a memorable day and for celebrating this important group who do so much good work in our communities.”
