Testimonials
“The staff at the Carers Centre are like my second family. Just brilliant. ”
Carers comment
“Gave me a great deal of insight into my own feelings of anger and frustration and how to cope with them"
'Time for Me' session
“This was a time for me to relax and be myself. I felt 'at home' in the group. The outdoor activities/walks were the best time for sharing problems & finding common emotions and needs. This time out really helped me. Thank you so very much.”
