Training & Peer Support

Our Training

We offer carers a wide range of training opportunities to help support you with your caring role. From dementia, and autism to mental health, there is a course to suit everyone.

We work with national charities to local providers to give carers the information and support they need. Courses are short, easy to join either online or face-to-face, and are easy to understand.

Our calendar is always updating – so keep an eye out on our ‘Events’ page!

Peer Support

We host 5 peer support groups for carers each month! These groups are perfect if you’d like to meet other carers, get some face-to-face support, and ask any questions about your caring role. They are a relaxed, non-judgemental space just for carers. We often have guest speakers covering a range of topics.

What carers have said...

Do you care for someone?

Three out of five of us will become carers at some point in our lives. You’re not alone, it’s okay to ask for help.   

If you care for someone with an illness, disability, additional support need, addiction or mental health condition, we can support you.
