CORONATION Street star Sally Lindsay has pledged her support for Carers Week 2003 which runs from June 9-15.
Sally, better known as barmaid Shelley Unwin, will help to promote the event aimed at helping carers find employment and other opportunities as well as celebrating their commitment and dedication.
Sally, who has personal experience as a carer, said: "Having helped to care for my grandmother who died of Alzheimers in 1992, I know the difficulties and strain that carers face. I felt passionately that I wanted to become involved in Carers Week."
