7th December 2020

Hello Everyone

How was your first weekend out of lockdown, did you doing anything exciting?  To the carers who celebrate Christmas are you looking forward to it this year or are you dreading it?  For me Christmas day will be pretty much like normal, as I like a quiet day at home, with my partner and the pets.

So I thought as a bit of fun, I would start a countdown to Christmas with seasonal pictures to make you smile.  If you have any pictures that you wish to share, then I would love that, please send them in tony@ccth.org.uk

Don’t Forget….

Carers Forum – Tuesday 8th 2pm to 3.30pm – we will be having a presentation from Coaching for Unpaid Carers – want to change one aspect of your life and need coaching to get there?

Great News Walking Wednesday’s are back – 9^th December at 1pm – fancy meeting up with your peers to chat, have fun, get mental and physical respite?

Thursday 10th December at 11am to 12 Noon – have fun and exercise, it will keep you warm in the winter months.

Shared reading on Friday 11tth December 11am to 12 noon for carers & the people you care for – come enjoy the beauty or words.

I saw this and thought it was a beautiful poem from a son to his Dad.  This is for anyone caring for a parent with Dementia, you do an amazing job and you are valued more than you know.

I am very keen to re-start the peer support group for carers of someone with Dementia 2021, this will be done when it is safe to do so.

Before I do this, I need to find out if this is something that carers want or need.  Would you be kind enough to feedback to me via email or if you want to have a confidential chat then please contact me tony@ccth.org.uk or ring 07547733698
