Carers Together Meeting
Under construction

Hello, my name is Linda M Byrne and l lead Carers Together that is held on the first Monday of each month from 10.30- 12.15, with the exception of July and August.
The group was established on 2nd October 2023.
I am a qualified social worker and for many years specialised in childcare & Child protection. Moving on to community care & mental health and for the last 21 years l have worked with unpaid carers and their families.
From my work experience l realised that there was a need for carers to have a safe environment where they could meet. This has resulted in us meeting monthly. Our door is open for carers to call in, discuss the caring role, carer related issues, have tea, coffee, sometimes soup, fruit, laugh, cry and essentially just be away from the caring role for a short period. We also have a short pause point/ reflection at the end of each session.
Since our meetings began we have had varied discussions, made jewellery, potted plants had social care workers/ physio visit and have had musical entertainers perform during our December session.
The running of the group is only possible with the help of three volunteers, Hilda Janet and Flo
If you are an unpaid carer please know that you will receive a warm welcome.
Please note we are all Safeguard trained, PVG checked and l also have had ASSIST and safetalk training as well as Trauma Informed practice level 1 2 3 .
if you wish to know any further information please do not hesitate to contact Linda or pop in where you will be made very welcome.
