We continue to welcome family carers to our popular monthly Lunch Club held at the Mencap Centre, which has the aim of providing opportunities for socialisation and relaxation and meeting others in similar circumstances on a regular basis. Meetings are between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. and dates are available for the whole year in advance and alternate between a Monday and Thursday.

Each meeting offers Family Carers:

• the chance to meet other family carers;
• the opportunity to join in discussions with a range of professionals, on issues concerning them and their caring responsibilities;
• practical and emotional support.
