Last Wednesday we had our first 'Carers' Coffee morning celebrating carers week in Hospice Day Service. Three female carers enjoyed a morning of coffee and cake with three carer support volunteers sharing ideas and struggles they face in their role as carer. A time of sharing and laughter, time out of the home environment meeting new people and spending time with others in a similar situation bringing comfort to their lives.
We have just run the first set of Carer Support Workshops which have run over the past 4 weeks offering advice and support in respect of Health and Wellbeing, The importance of self-care, Moving and Handling, Hand massage and Carer support benefit advice. These were all directed at 'the carer' and will continue to support all carers who would like to access support. Future events have been arranged and the dates are available on our website or from Louise Latham - Carer Support co-ordinator.
Please get in contact if you wish to know more or know who someone who may benefit from this service.
