To celebrate 'Carers Week 2019', Ross Care attended the Suffolk Family Carers Fun day. The event celebrates local carers and raises awareness of Suffolk Care initiatives. Simon & Paddy from Ross Care Ipswich were on hand giving out free wheelchair 'health checks', advice and support.

Despite the recent spell of wet weather, the event was well attended and Ross Care were kept busy offering advice and repairs on wheelchairs and mobility equipment.

Simon Turner, Operations Manager, commented:

'In addition to supporting the event, the day proved to be a great opportunity to hear feedback on our service and to raise awareness of the wheelchair provision available locally'
