Summary
Do something special at our monthly meetings at the Community Centre!Detailed description
The Carers Group gives unpaid carers of friends and family members the opportunity to take a much needed break, socialise with other carers , share experiences, laugh, cry and find out how to access local information, resources, and other sources of support.Â

- Welcoming Carers as they arrive, helping new attendees feel safe.
- Purchasing and making refreshments from the group funds.
- Working with Spark Somerset support to organise speakers, information sharing and peer support.
