Social and Leisure Events
We know that Carers enjoy being in touch with other Carers for support and friendship, so we try to find as many different ways of enabling Carers to get together as possible. We also know that Carers can get stuck at home and stressed with their caring situation - they enjoy time away to relax and recharge batteries. Our social and leisure opportunities are ways in which Carers can do this.
Carers Café – Carers meet at our city centre premises once a month for drinks, snacks and support – facilitated by a member of Carers Leeds staff and volunteers.
Trips Out - day trips and coach outings to interesting and fun places
Meals out – opportunities to talk, laugh, share at different venues across the city
Theatre trips and cinema trips
Book Group – a group of Carers meets every 6 weeks to talk books – facilitated by a member of Carers Leeds staff.
Male Carers Group – lots of different social and leisure activities specifically for male Carers – meets every month, facilitated by volunteers
Celebrations – special events at times such as World Mental Health Day, Christmas, Carers Week
We welcome feedback and ideas from Carers about activities that they would enjoy and that would support them in their caring role.
