Events at Action for Carers Surrey
We run events throughout the year to support carers and to give them a break from their caring role. There’s all sorts going on:
- Information events – for example on carers’ rights, or help with finances
- Support groups – opportunities for carers to connect with other people in similar situations and share experiences
- Wellbeing and relaxation – sessions like yoga or our cinema clubs
For more information on events near you, please have a look at what's going on below or call our information line on 0303 040 1234.
Highlights for August 2019
Although our Surrey Young Carers teams are flat out, August is usually a quieter month for us on the events front but this year we have a large number of face to face consultations running. These include sessions across the county where you can have your say on how we support carers.
And if you're after something more relaxed, we've got a lovely picnic in Runnymede Pleasure Grounds on the 8th August and a day out at Wisley on the 14th.
For more information and to book your place, give us a call on 0303 040 1234.
Dementia Support
We've got an event on 11th July which will focus on paying for care and looking after someone with dementia. We also have a number of support groups running for carers looking after those affected by dementia so do check out our Support Group pages to see if there's something going on near you.
Armed Forces Carer Events
Breakfast Clubs and drop ins run across the county throughout the year. You can find more info here or drop our dedicated team a line for more information.
