Coffee Mornings

Our coffee mornings take place every Tuesday from 10.30 am - 12.30 pm. These mornings are open to all Carers and offer you the chance to get out of the house, an opportunity to have a cup of tea or coffee and chat to other Carers. During coffee mornings we may have drama workshops, crafts, flower arranging and patch quilt making demonstrations, and talks from representatives of voluntary and statutory organisations. Check our Social Calendar for details of events arranged for coffee mornings. Don’t worry if you haven’t been before - everyone will make you feel welcome and you can stay for half an hour or for the whole morning.

Free Therapeutic Care

The British Red Cross Society provides a free Therapeutic Care Service to Carers at the Carers’ Centre. Using a simple combination of hand care and neck and shoulders massage, given through clothing, Red Cross volunteers offer a relaxing 30 - 60 minute session which provides a gentle, comforting treatment for those who are anxious or tense. Please call for details at the next session.

Other Activities

We organize various social events for Carers throughout the year. These include complimentary tickets to concerts and Christmas pantomimes, day outings, weekends away, meals and social evenings. Watch the newsletter for further details.
