The Carers Centre Leicestershire and Rutland: Together We Care

Caring for a loved one can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be challenging. You're not alone. The Carers Centre Leicestershire and Rutland is here to support you with their "Together We Care" group specifically for Rutland carers.

Are You a Rutland Carer?

If you provide unpaid care for a partner, family member, child, or friend who relies on your help, this group is for you. Whether you're caring for someone with a physical disability, a mental health condition, or an age-related illness, The Carers Centre understands the unique challenges you face.

Find Support and Knowledge

Join their friendly and relaxed group sessions on Wednesdays from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM at St. Joseph's Church in Oakham. These sessions offer a valuable opportunity to:

• Learn coping mechanisms: Discover strategies to manage stress and effectively navigate your caring role.
• Access essential services: Gain information about available resources and support services tailored to your specific needs.
• Understand your rights: Learn about your rights and entitlements as an unpaid carer, ensuring you receive the support you deserve.

Connect with Others

The "Together We Care" group fosters a sense of community. You'll have the chance to connect with other Rutland carers, share experiences, and offer support to one another.

Refreshments Provided

Enjoy a light refreshment break during the session, providing a chance to relax and socialise with fellow carers.
