Carers of Ageing Parents Group

The group uniquely caters for working carers and others for whom an evening slot is accessible. The meetings run from 7.00pm to 8.30pm, or 9.00pm if an activity is planned. Activities run for approx. 45 minutes and will be followed by refreshments and time for storytelling, support, and ideas exchange. The vision for the group is to create a space where carers of ageing parents can: - Connect and enjoy a sense of community with peers; enhance well-being through "escapes" and personal downtime; exchange information, perspectives, and draw inspiration from each other; benefit from the 'release' storytelling and togetherness provide; and learn and offer support to each other.

What activities does the group undertake throughout the year?

Group members will be invited at intervals to provide input about preferred activities, but they will likely include some of the following: - visiting speakers on topics of interest, creative activities, mindfulness activities, trivia, gentle local walks (in summer months), and jigsaws, cards and board games.
