Former carers' support

If the person you care for dies or perhaps has to go into permanent nursing care, how do you, their carer, pick up the pieces of your life?

To help carers and former carers find ways of 'moving on' to a new life, we are running a Former Carers Group.

The group meets once a month with the focus on providing support through listening to each other and the sharing of experiences and ideas.

We also organise occasional events such as:

• Social outings
• Trips
• Lunches
• Speakers on a range of topics e.g. local training and education opportunities, volunteering — how and why, financial and benefits advice — where to go for help

Meetings are held at the Warrington Carers Centre. If you are interested in finding out more, please phone the Carers Centre.
