Connecting caregivers through virtual support
Caring for a loved one can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. To address this challenge, we invite you to participate in our online Care for a Cuppa sessions via Zoom. These gatherings are designed to foster connections among caregivers, enabling them to share their experiences, seek advice, and build a supportive network.
Each week, we host these informal chats primarily on Monday afternoons, with an additional evening session each month for those who are unable to attend during the day. Below, you will find all the details regarding our upcoming meetings.
