Courses and Workshops

 

Our aim is to support and empower unpaid carers in their caring role through a wide range of support services and projects.

This is an ideal way for carers to gain knowledge and have fun whilst meeting other carers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All the trainers we use are well experienced and are aware of the issues that carers face. Courses vary and topics range from practical help with caring such as 'Moving and Handling' and 'Access to Rights & Benefits', through to areas that focus on the carers own well being and development, such as 'Stress Management' and 'Confidence & Assertiveness.' We even deliver some more leisure based topics such as Aromatherapy, or exploring arts and crafts.

We run a number of events, from time-out style relaxing activities to training in first aid etc.
