Carers Social Networks

Guideposts facilitates a number of social networks across the region. The aim of this is to:

• give carers an opportunity to meet other carers and forge new friendships
• give carers a break from their caring role and a chance to relax away from home
• arrange a lively programme of events and speakers of interest to carers
• give carers an opportunity to access training which will help in the caring role such as manual handling or first aid
• Be a source of information and advice on carer issues
• Be an opportunity to speak to a Carer Support Worker in an informal setting

If you have never attended and are nervous about attending a first meeting read what these carers say:

"Meeting a group of people for the first time was nerve-wracking....but I entered the room and was greeted by friendly smiles"

"It felt like a family, so close to each other,it was brilliant...I am so happy I had the courage to attend in the first place"
