Are you a carer living in West London and would benefit from some respite?
As part of our work to improve the health and wellbeing of carers in the area, we’re looking to launch a new outdoor support group.
Named ‘Carers' Corner’, the group will likely meet monthly/bi-weekly at The Dig, a community hub in Hanwell.
The group will participate in eco-therapy and look at how our greenspaces can support our health and wellbeing.
There will be activities, such as bird watching, gardening, planting, cooking (eat what you grow), and of course, refreshments!
The project aims to create a safe shared space in a green environment, promoting an appreciation of the natural world, as well as the opportunity to spend some time with people with similar experiences.
The group will also help improve carer involvement and access to support services including those provided by the Trust.
The proposed day for the group is Wednesday in the afternoon.
To get a better idea of how useful this type of group may be to local carers, we’re launching a survey.
If you’re a carer and interested in Carers' Corner, please complete the survey and encourage any other carers you know to do the same.
