The Association of Carers was established in 1987 by a group of Carers and healthcare professionals who recognised the need for Carers to be able to take a regular break from their caring role. We currently work with over 150 volunteers to provide three services to around 200 Carers in East Sussex. The Carers we support come from a range of backgrounds, looking after people with a range of conditions/disabilities. The services we provide are free, and in order to these services to remain free, we regularly host fundraising initiatives such as this race.
