CARING FOR THE CARERS

We are here to support the loved ones who are the carers too

BREAKOUT GROUPS

In our group sessions, we are often asked whether they can have some time out in sessions so that their loved ones can take part in activities without their partners or family members there for a short time.

We have created breakout sessions with an experienced volunteer to sit with carers, encourage them to talk about their own concerns and to share experiences

ONLINE SUPPORT

We have carers who find life challenging at times and would like someone to chat to informally either on the phone or as part of a whatsapp conversation.

We have that service available daily and we are also creating an online forum just for carers to share concerns, frustrations and ideas.

FACE TO FACE CHATS

Talking over a coffee is something we all like to do and for carers it is something that rarely happens. We currently run a service in Hampshire where the carer can sit down and chat with a volunteer or evening go for a walk to the shops just for a change in circumstances.

We also run a carers support service where we can signpost you for other help and support

SOCIALISING

We all know that there are times when as carers we would love to go out with friends socially for a few hours and be yourself

We arrange social events throughout the year for carers to come and relax and be you!
