Come along to meet and chat with other carers over a cuppa in the Community Room. The person you care for is welcome to attend, to join in the whole group chat. Please be aware, you will still need to be available to give attention to your cared-for as needed. 

Please contact Michelle Taylor or Sharon Newell on 01274 449660 or email mtaylor@carersresource.org if you would like to attend. It will be lovely to see you there.

The group is for carers, however some carers do bring along the people they care for.

It is a great chance to meet new people, have a cup of tea or coffee with biscuits, have a chat and were here to support you with anything you may need.

The group is free, although we do accept donations and any are greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Sara at;
