The Fun Day took place on a very hot day and was enjoyed by all. If you have any feedback on any of the events or suggestions for future events please contact us direct.
Priory Street itself was created in 1854 and the centre’s buildings have been refurbished and now house York Council for Voluntary Service (yorkcvs). The centre is a conference venue developed to meet the needs of the voluntary and community sector and is also used by a number of voluntary organisations who have their offices within the centre
York Carers have produced a book of poetry and drawings based on the exhibition ‘A Thousand Words’ curated by writer Tracy Chevalier (author of ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’) at York Art Gallery last autumn. Tracy has even written a foreword to the book – copies of which are now available online from http://www.lulu.com/content/4509994 (£1.43 per copy + £3.75 postage or download FREE.). There are also a limited number of free copies at the Carers Centre.
