“I thought I was the only one in my situation until I went to a meeting and realised there were others like me. It helped knowing I wasn’t on my own.”

***Activities throughout January are part of our LOVE January festival which is all about helping carers restore their incredible resilience and take some much needed time for themselves. The LOVE January activities are an opportunity for peer support, kindness, and fun.
Join us this January as we try to brighten the month with activities that inspire wellbeing, connection, and joy for carers of all ages!***
