Local businesses will gather for a Christmas Fayre fundraising for Carers Trust on the first weekend of December.

Taking place at Radford Semele Community Hall, the fayre will also include a raffle, refreshments and tombola.

As advertised in our What's On section, the fayre will be free to visit and will take place on Sunday, December 5 from 12pm to 2pm.

Carers Trust supports unpaid family carers and works to improve support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring.

Event organiser Emma Joyce Smith, from Warwick, has chosen to support Carers Trust because it's a charity very close to her heart having been an unpaid carer for over 21 years

She said: "I'm holding this event to raise money for Carers Trust because they work tirelessly to support unpaid carers around the UK."

The charity uses a nationwide network of local frontline partners and supports carers in their homes. The charity provides replacement care, and supplies communities with information, advice, emotional support, hands on practical help, access to much needed breaks and grants for essential items.

Emma added: "Local businesses have already been very supportive with donations and I would like to say a huge thank you to all of them."

Almost 40 different local businesses have donated to the raffle, the full list can be seen on the event's Facebook page.
