What we've achieved
"It's really good to meet people who you can relate to and who understand."
The legacy impact of Covid and the cost-of-living crisis has put already strained household budgets under further pressure, with many carers reporting that their mental health was getting worse as a result of the increased worry about paying everyday bills.
From our conversations with carers, we know how important it is to be able to take a break from their caring role. Throughout the year we provided a variety of free wellbeing activities including creative writing, belly dancing, yoga, origami, paddle boarding and many more.
A highlight in the year was the free Jubilee Picnic delivered in partnership with Southside Community Centre. The event was attended by over 250 carers and their families all coming together at the Holborne Museum for a relaxed afternoon in the sunshine.

“The Carers’ Centre is so important, it's like a lifeline to so many people."
Louise has felt the benefit from attending our activities. As a carer for her two young daughters, The Carers' Centre activities give her something to look forward to and the chance to take time for herself.
