Carers Breaks Schedule
Caring for someone is an act of love, strength and commitment – but even the most dedicated carers need time for themselves. Our Carers Breaks Programme give you the space to pause, breathe and focus on your wellbeing, guided by the Five Ways to Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, and Take Notice.
Whether you join us for an hour or an afternoon, these sessions are designed to help your wellbeing flourish.

Below is the current schedule of upcoming Carers Break Sessions.
Carers can attend as many of the drop-in events as they like, these do not need to be booked. Click on each session for more information or to book your space.
Connect
Spend time with others who understand the ups and downs of caring. Our sessions offer a warm, welcoming environment where you can talk, share experiences, or simply sit and enjoy the company of people who “get it.”
Build new friendships and rediscover the joy of being part of a supportive community.
Be Active
You don’t need to be sporty to feel the benefits of gentle movement. Many sessions include light activities such as guided walks, chair-based exercises, stretching, or creative movement.
Being active boosts your energy, improves mood and gives you a positive break from daily routines.
Keep Learning
Try something new, explore a hobby, or discover a skill you didn’t know you had. From craft workshops to wellbeing talks and practical skill‑building sessions, there’s always something to spark your curiosity.
Learning new things is great for confidence and mental wellbeing.
Give
Experience the feel‑good lift that comes from kindness — to yourself and others. Join in group activities, share a tip that’s helped you, or simply offer a friendly smile.
Small acts of giving create a positive ripple through our carer community.
Take Notice
Our sessions encourage you to slow down and truly notice the world around you. Through mindfulness activities, creative sessions and moments of calm, you’ll have space to reconnect with yourself and appreciate the little things that bring joy.
Why Carers Breaks Matter
Taking time for yourself isn’t a luxury – it’s essential. When you prioritise your wellbeing, you’re better able to cope with the challenges of caring, maintain balance, and continue supporting the person you care for.
Our Carers Breaks Sessions are free, friendly, and designed with carers in mind. Whether you join regularly or drop in when you can, you’ll always be warmly welcomed.
