What’s on
Explore our upcoming groups & events
We've changed things...
We have transformed how we share information about our groups to make it simpler for unpaid carers to find what’s right for them.
All our upcoming events are now displayed with accurate information on dates & times. We have organised these by date and categorised them by user needs, such as peer support, carer cafés, wellbeing activities, learning new skills, or quick drop-ins for advice.
Our monthly groups are free to attend (excluding fundraising events), friendly, informal, and no booking is needed unless stated otherwise.
You’re very welcome to pop along on the date, but if you require, you can contact the worker for a chat beforehand.
