This relaxed and welcoming session, between 1.30pm and 3.30pm on Tuesday afternoon, offers the chance to connect, chat, and discover different areas of support over a free cup of tea or coffee.
Guild Care’s Creating Connections programme, for people aged 65 and over, aims to reduce loneliness and social isolation through a range of weekly activities in venues across Worthing. They also host special one-off information talks, such as this Carers Support event, to inform and highlight assistance that may be available.
Megan Cohen, senior coordinator for Creating Connections, said, “This session is about giving people a moment for themselves. It’s a chance to find out what support is available and relax over a cup of tea with people who understand the challenges.”
People who attend the talk will be able to explore local resources, ask questions, and simply enjoy meeting others who understand what it’s like to provide care for someone at home. There will also be practical tips to help lighten the load.
