“Care for Carers staff are fab and do everything they can to to make sure everyone has a fab time.”
“It has made me feel less alone in going through recent events and the counselling service has been very helpful.”
“Knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel, people who understand you and even know you can get away make such a big difference to your mind set.”
We know from our own experience how hard it can be to care for a person living at home. Our services therefore provide opportunities to share experiences with other carers, get practical information and find out you are not alone.
Why not join our relaxed and informal activities where you will find friendship, support, information and encouragement?
Our Stepping Out programme for 2026 will be out early in the new year. Applications for Stepping Out are therefore currently suspended, but will resume as soon as the new edition is published.
