Time Out For Local Carers
The seventh annual Pamper Day for Carers at Burgess Hill School for Girls was a popular event as ever. It was held on Thursday 16th October 2014 and supported by Burgess Hill Town Council. The event was free to any local resident who cares for a family member or friend on a full or part-time basis.
Carers were able to choose from a variety of pamper sessions, which included hairdressing, a manicure and a head and shoulder massage. There were also gardening demonstrations and scrapbooking workshops as well as a raffle with gifts kindly donated from the school and local companies. The visitors were also treated to musical entertainment from the Burgess Hill School students.
The event was officially opened by Burgess Hill Town Crier, Neil Batsford. Local carers’ support agencies were also in place to offer information and advice to the visiting carers.
All girls at Burgess Hill School for Girls are encouraged to give back to the wider community and in particular to give up their time.
Mrs Laybourn, Deputy Head at Burgess Hill School for Girls said, “Everyone left feeling relaxed having had a wonderful day. All of Year 9 were praised for the attention they gave to the Carer they supported.”
