An event organised by Bolton Carers Support, a charity which provides information, support, advice and short breaks for carers, to mark National Carers Rights Day today has been called off due to the weather.

It was due to be held the 3D Centre in Bella Street, Daubhill.

It is estimated there are more than 28,000 adult carers and in excess of 1,000 young carers supporting relatives and friends in Bolton. Many have made big sacrifices, like giving up work and social activities.
