The support group is twice a month in Eastbourne and in Lewes.
If you are new to the project and you would like to attend the support group we would need to have an initial assessment just to see how you are and what is going on for you. We would then give you information about the project and what support we can offer.

The support group is a place where everyone has had, or are in, a similar situation as yourself. We talk through how you are doing and there are educational resources that may help with coping on a day to day basis.

Some members of the support group say that the group has been their “lifeline”. A place where they can share what’s going on in their life without fear of being judged or rejected.

Some carers have said that they wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing about their life in a group but once they have been they feel that they have found a place where people “get it” and understand how it is for them.

We arrange healthy walks for carers, this gives you some time to connect with others and enjoy the outdoors.

We arrange wellbeing days out, like the hop on hop off bus, the bluebell walk or a stroll along the Cuckmere. These allow some much needed respite so that you can continue with your caring role.

We have arranged wellbeing sessions for you to learn techniques to keep your mind and body well.

Looking after your own mental and physical wellbeing is so important when caring for someone as this can sometimes be exhausting. Looking after yourself can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, improve your general outlook of the situation and give you hope that things can change.
