Coventry Carers' Centre
Group Support
Sometimes it is useful to meet with other people in a similar situation to yourself. The Carers' Centre runs several groups where carers can meet and get support from other carers, learn information from a variety of speakers and also have a break from their caring role.
Mental Health Carers Support Group
June and Lynn run a monthly support group for carers of people with a mental health problem. This is held at the Centre,on the first Thursday of each month. In order to meet the needs of working carers and carers who are unable to attend during the day, this group is held during the day one month, and in the evening the next month. If you are interested in attending this group, please contact either June or Lynn at the Centre
General Carers Support Group
This group is facilitated by Gill Fleckner and Debbie King. The group meets at the centre on the third Thursday of each month.
Milan Asian Group
The Asian Carers Support Group is facilitated by Varsha and Uma. It is held every other Friday, 10.15 to 12.30 at St Peters Community Centre Hillfields
Walkers Group
Walking is an excellent stress buster and an opportunity for carers to have a break from their caring role in the company of others who can understand their situation. This group is run by volunteers which meets fortnightly. Each month an easy walk is followed by a more demanding walk. For further details please contact Mary at the Carers Centre.
Social Group
Mary also organises our Social Group. This group meets to go on social outings every six weeks or so. Places recently visited have been The Bullring Shopping Centre, Batsford Arboretum and The Black Country Museum. There is sometimes a small charge for these trips.
