HUNDREDS of care workers and agencies across the borough gathered together at the Culver Centre for a one day conference that recognised the work that carers do.
Two projects in the south west Esesx area will receive funding: Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions CIC and St Luke's Hospice, Basildon. A spokesperson for Thurrock Lifestyles said: "We are delighted to have been given this opportunity to support local carers of disabled children in planning the tricky future path between leaving special school and entering the adult world”
