Are you a carer who’d like to come and chat to other carers for support and friendship? If so, we’re hoping to be able to offer a group on the 4^th Wednesday of each month at Blackfen Library from 1-3pm. Please let us know if you’re interested and hopefully we’ll get enough numbers to be able to meet up. Please let Joanne Flitton know on 0208 302 8011 – we look forward to hearing from you!
