This welcoming support group offers carers of people with Dementia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's a chance to connect and share experiences in a relaxed setting. Enjoy a warm cuppa while engaging with others who truly understand your journey.
The sessions provide a safe space for social connection, emotional support, and a little 'me time' amidst the demands of caregiving. Facilitated by a peer with lived experience, the group fosters empathy and understanding.
Whether you are new to caregiving or have been supporting a loved one for years, this group aims to ease the isolation often felt and build a community of carers.
