Event Completed Successfully

Held on 5th June 2023 as part of UK Carers Week

On 5th June 2023, we hosted a much-needed Carers Wellbeing Event with the aim of providing support and education to those caring for their loved ones. The event was centred around promoting a person-centred approach to caregiving, recognizing the diverse cultural stigmas that carers may encounter, and enhancing their understanding of dementia awareness.

We had the privilege of hearing from incredible speakers who shared their expertise and personal stories. Their insights were truly inspiring and provided valuable takeaways for everyone in attendance.

Topics Covered

Exploring Cultural Stigmas

Acknowledging that caregiving can be viewed differently across cultures and how to navigate those challenges.

Dementia Awareness

Providing a deeper understanding of the condition and how it affects both the individual and their caregiver.

Person-Centred Care

Emphasizing the importance of tailoring care to the unique needs and preferences of the individual receiving it.

Event Success

The event was a huge success, and we were thrilled to see so many carers come together to learn, share their experiences, and support one another. It was a reminder of the incredible work that carers do every day and the importance of providing them with the resources and support they need.

"We would like to thank our speakers and everyone who attended the event. We look forward to hosting more events in the future and continuing to support our community of carers."
