“Caring is a bit like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces symbolize the challenges that carers face on a daily basis, some larger and awkward, while others are corner pieces that fit perfectly. tide is the physical building together of the jigsaw, interlocking all the disconnected pieces, when assembled produce a complete picture"

Are you a former carer? Come join our group of friendly former carers for our online peer support group
Peer-to-peer support is so important, it often feels like no one else really understands what you are going through as a carer. This group gives you the chance to meet with other carers who share similar experiences with you.
When the caring comes to an end, you may feel a bit lost and unsure what to do. As well as informing each other with friendly advice, the group offers an opportunity to share your experiences with others who have gone through something similar and who understand. If you are interested, you can also hear about how you can be more involved with opportunities to influence and create fairer dementia policies.
You can register via the Book Now button. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link. Please contact carers@tidecarers.org.uk if you have any questions. Read more
