Hello Everyone

How is everyone doing today?  Has it happened to you when a friend disappoints you and you feel that you do not know them, something like this happened to me this weekend and it is unsettling?

I feel friends are very important and, in some ways, as important as your family, and for some of us more important.  Always remember to treat people with respect and look after the people you love.


New Activities for July

Don’t forget our July 2021 E Newsletter comes out on Wednesday and we have a lot of exciting new Carers Academy activities as well information to share.

As I always say if you see an activity, or something takes your fancy email me to reserve your place tony@ccth.org.uk .  We are continuing to provide some in person workshops at the centre as well as some Zoom activities.

Do you want to get creative and bring the person you care for to the centre for Arts & Crafts?  Do you care for someone who presents with Challenging Behaviour?  We have a workshop on managing these behaviours.

We have a new Healthy Eating and Nutrition weekly group; you could combine this with our Walking Wednesdays and get fit?

We have a monthly workshop Carers Mental Health Programme with Talking Therapies as well as new fortnightly Mental Health Carers Peer Support Group, and of course our monthly Dementia Carers Peer Support Group.

So take your pick and join a group – you know you want to!!!!
