Our BRAND NEW groups and training programme for carers

by Leave a Comment

April sees the launch of our brand new carer groups programme…


Building upon our consultation with you over the past six months, we have designed a new structure that reaches out to as many of the 47,500 carers living in Wiltshire as possible. We aimed for an accessible and personalised programme that offers social and practical support for carers.

Via evaluation forms, emails, and the online survey on our website, you said that you would like:

  • Better-quality advice and information
  • Groups to run monthly, on a weekday morning, or, afternoon
  • Opportunities to socialise, share experiences and advice.

Structured groups

Structured groups will run once a month in six areas. We will provide bite-sized training based on the Caring with Confidence programme, invite outside organisations to talkabout issues you tell us you are interested in, and give you high quality advice and information regarding your caring role. These groups will be facilitated by a CSW support worker.

Cafés

Cafés will run in 12 towns across the county facilitated by trained volunteers. It will be a place where carers can come together to share information, advice, and socialise.

Mental health and parent carers

We will also run bi-monthly specialist groups based around mental health and parent carers.

All our groups and cafés are listed on our what’s on page. To book a place on any group, please call us on 0800 181 4118 or email [email protected].
