Led by carers we host many weekly activities for example
We work with you to ensure the sessions which are on offer are meaningful to you. We also know it can be difficult to access sessions without the person you care for, so we would love to meet them too!
Take a look at our events section for up to date activities.
We have a dedicated Team that offers emotional and practical support to adult carers. We would be delighted to see you at one of the many events we hold, please see our events section.
We can then talk about what might make your life easier and how you can get more help, or if you prefer we can arrange a time and place where we can meet up and talk about what your needs are.
And remember… you’re not on your own and we will do everything we can to help you.
Are you aged between 18-25 years old and providing care to loved ones?

Carers from ages 5 to 18 are known as young carers and often take on practical and/or emotional caring responsibilities that would normally be expected of an adult. The tasks undertaken can vary according to the nature of the illness or disability, the level, and frequency of need for care and the structure of the family as a whole.
A young carer may do some or all of the following:

We also have groups which are not age specific but instead tailor to individual needs for those who may feel more comfortable with others who are in a similar situation.
We recognise that it can be difficult when you lose the loved one you have been caring for. Whether your loved one has moved into long-term care or passed away. We work in partnership with bereavement support services and can help guide you through this time in your life.
We also have a dedicated group that meet weekly to chat, have a cuppa and share their stories. Although this is a difficult time, we do have some fun activities, please see our events section.
Please call us on 01429 283095 and we would be more than happy to help.

A newly developed service providing carers with a weekly 30 min call from one of our dedicated Carer Ambassadors. This service is open to all Adult Carers and Ex-Carers and is completely free of charge.

We try to match you with Ambassadors with similar interests and experiences, so you can enjoy sharing a good giggle.
