“The Carer Support Team are a wonderful group of passionate individuals with a huge commitment to carers.”
“They go out of their way to keep you informed and will do anything to help us.”
“It was lovely having everything planned and organised for me. I just had to turn up and enjoy. Meeting new carers and talking to them was very helpful.”
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?
