Selby Carers Group meets every Monday at Selby Bowling Club and has gone from strength to strength with a growing number of carers and those they care for attending each week. The group enables carers – some of whom attend with the person they care for – to enjoy coffee, cake and conversation and provides a valuable opportunity for peer support.
Carers who attend said they enjoy the group, and “Being around others with similar experiences. Sometimes giving advice, sometimes getting advice and just feeling understood without judgement.”
Paul Slater, Carers’ Resource Locality Worker for the Selby area attends the group regularly to answer any questions and keep people up to date with information that may be of interest.
For more information about the group, contact Paul by calling 01423 500555 or emailing pslater@carersresource.org.
The grant from Selby Town Council means the cost of the room hire for the year has been covered, as well as contributing towards a Christmas meal for the group.
