You told us, we listened…
Some carers living in the Colchester and Tendring areas have said they’d love to attend one of our carer support groups but, because of work and other commitments they find this tricky.
Starting on 25th September 2024, a new ONLINE group for adults who look after and care for someone else will be meeting once a month to provide a space for discussion and support focusing on improving wellbeing.
Carer Support Groups are gatherings of individuals who share common experiences or circumstances. These groups bring together those who are caring for a family member to offer emotional support and practical advice.
What should I expect?
This group will be meeting online using Microsoft Teams. Meetings might sometimes involve guest speakers, or themed topics based on the needs and interests of the group members. Or we might just get together for a chat over a cuppa. Although our staff will be available to facilitate, we’re keen that the carers taking part are central to deciding how the group is run and what takes place within it. The group will be informal and relaxed.
How can I join?
Joining a Carer Support Groups is easy, simply register with us by making a self-referral and make a note of the group you want to join in the reason for referral or if you’re already registered, just drop an email to admin@essexcarerssupport.org.uk and use Online Carer Group in the subject box.
You can also call 0300 7708090.
We look forward to meeting/seeing you there!
