A safe, confidential space to meet with other carers face-to-face and online – to share information and provide support to each other.
Groups are a great way to connect with other carers, sharing knowledge and giving each other support.
Please find details of our carers groups below. We are currently running a blend of in-person and online groups, to suit your caring situation.
If you have not attended a group before and would like to, please contact CarersLine:
CarersLine is open:
