Events

We host regular support groups, meetings and drop-in sessions, aimed at helping carers access information and support relevant to your personal situation.

We also run annual events for carers in celebration of Carers Week, Carers Rights Day, Young Carers Awareness Day, and more.

Please note: to help keep everyone safe during the Coronavirus pandemic our clubs may be running differently than usual. For example, groups may take place at different times or locations, have reduced availability, or even be held online.
