"I have filled my toolbox … each week made me stop and think how I can take better care of myself"
That’s what one past participant told us after attending our Compassion for Carers course 💚
This supportive programme gives carers the chance to share, reflect, and build confidence in their role, while also taking time to look after themselves.
📅Our next course begins in September.
📍 Delivered locally in a warm, supportive environment
👉 If you or someone you know is a carer, we’d love to hear from you
