‘Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.’

Are you currently running or supporting a Carer Group? Are you considering establishing a new carer support group?

Join our Community of Practice for Volunteer (unpaid) Facilitators of Carer Support Groups. There are five sessions in total available across 2025, each offering different practical skills and ongoing opportunities to connect with your peers.

These sessions will focus on sharing experience, skills and knowledge.

Participants are encouraged to attend every session to build relationships and connections, however you are welcome to join at any stage and it is possible to attend individual sessions that are of interest. Each session will focus on a specific topic.

Attendance is free and we welcome new members. Zoom link will be provided following registration.
