What’s in a name? The words ‘virtual’ and ‘centre’ seem to have caused some contentions in the naming of the new carer support service that started on 1st October 2011. After consultation with carers, the Devon Virtual Carers Centre is being renamed: ‘Devon Carers’. The new branding is being introduced in the Spring newsletter and will be officially rolled out on their leaflets and other publicity materials, and on their website, from the beginning of April. The roll out will culminate in a launch event in Carers Week at which ‘Devon Carers’ intend to properly celebrate the new service with carers and other stakeholders across Devon.
