Summary
Help provide social and emotional support in a friendly and informal way to Carers at their monthly meeting in MartockDetailed description
The Carers Group gives people who look after 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
We need a volunteer to work with the group leader with support from Spark and other volunteers. Key roles include
- Welcoming Carers as they arrive, reducing any first time nerves.
- Supporting the meeting.
- Enabling Carers to speak to each other and ask for ideas.
- Undertaking initial online training and face to face occasional meetings
- Working with existing team members
The Martock Carers Group runs at Martock Christian Fellowship Church Rooms Church St, Martock TA12 6JN on the first Thursday of the month at 10:30 for 1.5 hours. It is fully accessible. You would be part of the existing team helping the leader.
