A Maldon charity has celebrated 25 years of supporting unpaid carers across the county.

Action for Family Carers, based at Brickhouse Farm, Poulton Close, had a celebratory breakfast buffet and afternoon tea to mark its milestone.

There are more than 7,000 unpaid carers in the Maldon district alone.

The charity was first registered in April 1990 and previously known as Maldon Carer’s Centre, but it now supports carers across the county and is the only Carers Trust Carers Centre in Essex.
