AN event is being held to mark Carers Rights Day.
Wigan Council are inviting carers from across the borough to an information event at Sunshine House in Scholes on Friday where they can learn more about their rights.
A carer is someone who looks after a family member, a friend or neighbour who is disabled, ill, old, or has drug or alcohol problem.
