Creative Workshops - Exploring Loss and Grief

18/11/2025 10:30 am - 12:30 pm | York Theatre Royal

Our creative workshops are continuing, and we’d love for you to join us.

We will be using creative writing, art, music and performance to explore feelings of grief and loss.

Matt from Next Door But One theatre group will be facilitating the workshops and we welcome all loss experiences; from bereavements to changes in identity, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a job and everything in-between.

You are welcome to come to one or both workshops. Each workshop will have a different theme and our staff will be on hand to support and join in.

“I had to have a mask to be able to leave the house this morning and coming here today I’ve been able to pull the mask down. I’d have never been able to write about what I have without coming here.”

When: Tuesday 18 November, 10.30 – 12.30pm

Where: York Theatre Royal, St Leonards Place, York YO1 7HD

Everyone who attends a workshop is invited to join us for the Pantomime on Tuesday 16 December, 10am.

Please via Eventbrite here or email us at events@yorkcarerscentre.co.uk or call us on 01904 715 490.
***Please note these sessions are for carers only.***

Carers Rights Day

20/11/2025 10:00 am - 2:00 pm | Friends Meeting House

Join us for Carers Rights Day

Carers Rights Day is a national event to raise awareness about the rights and entitlements of unpaid carers. It’s about ensuring that those who care for others get the recognition, support, and guidance they deserve.

To mark this important day, we are inviting carers to join us for tea and cake at our ‘Carers Information and Advice drop-in.’

This is a great opportunity to connect with our team as well as legal, financial, and social care professionals who will be on hand to offer advice and answer your questions.

Topics we’ll cover include:
• Lasting Power of Attorney, Wills and Trusts
• Welfare Benefits
• Paying for Care
• Understanding Social Care
• Carers Assessments of Need
• Balancing Work and Caring Responsibilities
• Support for Parent Carers
• Resources for Young Adult Carers

When: Thursday 20 November, 10 – 2pm

Where: Friends Meeting House, Friargate, York YO1 9RL

We’re here to support you and help you navigate your role as a carer.
No need to book – just drop in! We look forward to welcoming you.
