Events
We run free, friendly and informative events for unpaid carers. You will find regular coffee mornings and peer support groups where you can meet up with other like-minded carers to discuss concerns around dementia care. We host groups for former carers, young onset dementia carers, male carers and a living grief and bereavement group.
You will also find sessions for our Carer Development Programme here. This covers topics such as prioritising your emotional well-being and advice for advocating for yourself and the person you care for. Find out more about all our sessions here.

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.
