Respite, connection and creativity for carers

Carers O’Clock creates a supportive space to allow carers to share their experiences and knowledge with each other, taking some precious time out from their caring responsibilities to focus on their wellbeing.

We know that carers’ own needs are often neglected so at Carers O’Clock, they are looked after by a dedicated team with all refreshments and a freshly prepared hot lunch provided by our resident chef.  Led by an expert artist, carers can immerse themselves in engaging and uplifting creative activities, whilst connecting with others 

who fully understand the demands of caring and supporting each other through conversation and practical advice. 

Carers O’Clock tackles the loneliness that many carers experience and allows them to relax and express themselves creatively in the company of others who ‘get it’. 

"I look forward to these events every month.  I know that everyone there understands the difficulty of keeping our essential selves from disappearing amongst all the care needs"

"This group is so important to me. When I first came here I never imagined how supportive everyone would be and the friends I would make. The wealth of knowledge and information that has been shared has proved essential to my role as a carer"
