A COUNCIL care unit that provides information packs for Worcestershire carers has been hailed a success.

More than 2,000 requests for information packs have been sought since the unit, based in Worcester, started in January.

The pack gives information on a range of issues, including useful contacts, getting a break and money matters.

The unit has been designed as a central point to make life easier for carers across the county.
