A safe, confidential space to meet with other carers face-to-face and online – to share information and provide support to each other.
Groups are a great way to connect with other carers, share knowledge, and support each other. Please find details of our carers groups below. We run a blend of in-person and online groups to suit your caring situation.
Often external speakers attend Carers Support Groups
Please note that you can only attend a carers group that meets in the same local council area as where you live, Bristol or South Gloucestershire, with the exception of the online group.
