Courses

Free courses for unpaid cares

Take a look through our courses. If you find one that sounds like it’s for you, simply fill out the application form and we’ll be in touch.

Our courses are FREE and all include all materials and travel expenses.

Carers are requested to bring their own lunch but we provide £2.50 towards it.

If you have a specific group that needs training, or the dates or times don’t suit your needs, please let us know.

We can deliver courses on evenings and weekends and can do half-days or combine multiple topics.

Just let us know what you need.

They make you feel welcome, important and recognise who you are. You don’t often get that on courses.

It’s unique. It’s not someone giving you a lecture about being a carer. It’s the information they have gathered, how they break it down and pass it on.

It’s lifechanging … Being with people wo have the same struggles and know what you’re going through.
