Are you looking after someone due to their ill health? Does you family have military links?
From the 24th of September we are running a series of free weekly sessions for unpaid adult carers. Sessions are intended for you to have some time out of your caring role & focus on yourself. You can attend as many sessions as you like.
BOOKING ESSENTIAL: Places are FREE but limited
Attend one or all sessions & meet other unpaid carers. Due to funding from the Armed Forces Covenant, places are reserved for those with a military link who are supporting someone due to their ill health.
