Carer support groups

Do you need time out and some company for yourself? If so, you are not alone - Worcestershire Association of Carers has a carers group near you.

Make friends and chat over tea or coffee. Meet with other carers who share and understand your experiences. Gain access to support, information and talks to help you as a Carer, and have opportunities to voice your concerns. Enjoy recreational activities, relaxation and occasional outings, as a break from caring.

All Carers are welcome to just drop into one of the groups but if you wish to check anything of have any questions, please contact our helpline 0300 021 4272 and we can give you the latest updates on where each group is meeting.

In addition to our groups, please do check the What's On page or Events Calendar for activities and events aimed to help Carers connect with one another and enjoy recreational activities, relaxation and a break from caring.
