Carers in the Falkirk area who look after a friend, relative or neighbours are still able to join in a new wellbeing Cafe and support session here at the Centre.
A partnership between Forth Valley Sensory Centre and Falkirk & Clackmannanshire Carers Centre, the programme of health and wellbeing workshops have already benefitted those who have attended and the group is still accepting new applicants for the moment.
Further groups will be set up throughout the year and importantly, carers are able to bring along their cared for people on the day with activities being provided by Forth Valley Sensory Centre. The groups are separated on arrival to take part in different activites and training but meet up again for a healthy, free lunch provided by Centre staff.
Feedback from previous course attendees has been really positive:
“Very enjoyable, nice to hear how other people feel and hear about how other people cope. Strongly urge other carers to attend.”
“It has been good meeting other people going through the same-we learned so much from each other.”
“Excellent friendly sessions. Now more aware of what help when I require it is available. Very relaxed sessions and interesting and very pleased we have come to each one. Very helpful.”
Transport may be available for those who need it. Meetings start at 12pm and are planned to finish at 2:30pm. Anyone interested in attending or finding out more about the programme can contact Rebecca Fowler at the Carers Centre on 01324 611510 or Brenda Whyte on 01324 590 888.
