Manchester Carers Centre

VIRTUAL COFFEE MORNINGS 2020

All of our partnership services are aimed at ending the loneliness and isolation of Carers and connecting Carers with their peers for mutual support. Staff identify and assess the needs of Carers for particular support that will benefit the unique individual and their family. Some examples of our successes in this year: We delivered 7 virtual Coffee Mornings which was a new experience for Carers meeting on Zoom from the convenience of their own homes, this medium really worked well for some of our Carers.

Sessions covered a wealth of topics from Relaxation, Reminiscence, Carers Rights and also included fun quizzes and time to chat. Having time to talk to other Carers in a safe space can never be underestimated and feedback from Carers attending the coffee morning sessions echoed this.
