From carer information sessions run by our Helpline advisers to wellbeing sessions and discussions with carers on diverse experiences of caring. We add new sessions every week so keep an eye on this page for more!
Our series of Pilates and Hatha yoga sessions have now ended, but we hope to be able to offer more of these in the future.

August sessions
Join us for an introductory session and to find out more about our upcoming Mindfulness course offered by certified Mindfulness Teacher, Bernadette Sarginson. Starting on 24th September, 10.30-12.30, this will be an 8-week course where you'll learn about mindfulness, explore how it can help you in your day-to-day living and caring responsibilities, and learn to navigate the ups and downs of life as a carer with more calm, ease and joy. Join us to find out more and register your interest. Book here
Knowing what financial support is out there for carers and what you might be entitled to yourself can be confusing, especially when policy changes are announced. Liz from our Helpline team will be joining us to give an overview of financial support available including types of welfare benefits and current eligibility, as well as other forms of support such as grants for carers. There will be time for questions, so be sure to bring along a notepad and pen. Book here
Note on signing up to our sessions
Our Share and Learn events are generally bookable via Zoom. Once you have registered by clicking the "Book here" option of the session you wish to attend, you will be sent a confirmation email with a Zoom "join meeting" link. Please note you may not receive your link straight away. If you have registered during the weekend or during out of office hours, you will receive a confirmation email as soon as possible. You will need to register for each Share and Learn individually.
Session recordings
To help more carers enjoy the benefits of Share and Learn, some sessions will be recorded. Only the speaker/facilitator’s section will be publicly shared. If you do not wish to be recorded, you are welcome to turn off your camera/audio during this part of the session.
Want to chat with other carers?
As well as Share and Learns, we run weekly online Care for a Cuppa sessions, where you can meet other carers, share experiences and find mutual support.
