Grab yourself a cuppa and join us as we chat about one of our most popular groups - the Carer Café. We chat with Ian, a carer, who has been popping into our Carer Cafés each week. Listen along and discover why the Café may be the perfect short break you need from the busy week.
Why not give it a go and meet some carers at one of our Carer Café sessions.
You can find more info on our groups and carer support services at www.gatesheadcarers.com
We're back with episode 2 of our Care to Chat podcast! In this episode we sit down with volunteer befriender, Irene, to discuss what the role is all about and how you can get involved with becoming a volunteer befriender.
In our very first episode of the Care to Chat podcast, we discuss our befriending services. At Gateshead Carers, we have our own befriending service to give unpaid carers and those they care for, an opportunity to change their usual daily routines and to have a chat with a new friend. Along with Carer Wellbeing Facilitator Paul, we discuss how important the befriending service has been during the Covid-19 pandemic and how carers in Gateshead can get involved with us!
