What’s On For Carers

The sessions are fun, there are no auditions, everyone is welcome, and you come when you can so there is no feeling of letting anyone down if something unexpected crops up. So if you ‘don’t like Mondays’, why not give the Council and Carers Choir a try – it could become your favourite day of the week!

There is no pressure to perform but we were delighted that almost everyone did at the Carers Christmas Café in December – and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it. The choir will be performing again at the Café in Carers Week.

If you are interested, but not keen on going on your own, Jan from the Carers Centre would be happy to meet you beforehand in the foyer at Moorfoot.

Short sessions of up to 20 minutes are available for carers to access advice and information related to their caring role from one of our Carer Advisors. The drop-in session is available at the Carers Centre 10.00 till 12.00 noon each Wednesday morning.

If further support is required beyond the 20 minutes, this will be arranged with you at the time, but follow-up will normally be by phone.

No booking is necessary – just turn up at the Carers Centre on the day.

At most of these sessions, a Carer Advisor who speaks Urdu/Punjabi is available, though we cannot guarantee this every month. If you require carer support in any other languages, please contact the Carer Advice Line to arrange this.

Following the success of our recent British Red Cross First Aid Course, there will be another course at our office on Young Street. This will include lessons on basic first aid, CPR and other life-saving skills.  Please contact the Carers Centre to book a place as numbers are limited.
