National Chat and Change Group

Join us on Wednesday mornings for a relaxed chat with our team and other members of tide. Our chat and change groups friendly, informal and attended by current carers, carers of those who are in residential care and former carers so are open to all.

Chat and change is a chance for you to meet and talk with other carers. Share your experiences and ease your concerns in a pressure-free supportive environment of other people who know what you are going through. The best way to start a positive change is to voice your thoughts & opinions. So come, listen and let's make a better future for carers together.

We use zoom for this and can help you get set up and started if this is new to you.
