A safe, confidential space to meet with other carers face-to-face and online – to share information and provide support to each other.
Groups are a great way to connect with other carers, sharing knowledge and giving each other support.
Please find details of our carers groups below. We are currently running a blend of in-person and online groups, to suit your caring situation.
If you have not attended a group before and would like to, please contact CarersLine:
CarersLine is open:
Monday to Friday: 10 am – 1 pm
Monday to Thursday: 2 pm – 4 pm
(Closed on Bank Holidays)

Alternatively, use our contact form to receive a personal reply the same or the next working day.
