All parent carers in Trafford are invited to a friendly coffee morning to meet other people, get information and advice, and take a break.
Hosted by Trafford FIS's SEND Local Offer Advisor Sarah, and Trafford Carers Centre, the aim is to create a community space to share experiences of caring for family and chat about positives and the challenges carers experience, to feel connected with others and to help others in the same situation.
The feedback we have had is that it's helpful to chat with others in a similar situation and to share experiences, and this helps us and the family we care about. It’s so important that our experiences help others in a similar situation. It's also a place where specialist support services can come and engage with the community of carers and provide specialist advice.
