Event for friendship and support
There's an invitation for carers from across the Isle of Man to meet up with others who are in the same position.
The Central Laa Meanagh Day Centre for Older People at Farmhill in Douglas will host "Coffee for Carers" every other month, with the first get together planned for 9 October.
As well as connecting with others who look after people, there will also be the chance to speak to the Eastern Wellbeing Partnership team to find out what support is available.
Anyone interested will need to register via email by 30 September to make sure there are enough refreshments for everyone - the address is CentralLaaMeanagh.ManxCare@gov.im
The Central Laa Meanagh is for older people who live in the community. The Centre provides social stimulation and interaction as well as respite for carers.
Registered Manager, Caroline Horne says: "The launch of these coffee mornings will be an opportunity for carers to network, make friends and to find out what support there is available in the community to assist them with their caring role.
"We welcome all carers from around the Island to join us at Central Laa Meanagh.
"We understand that it can be difficult for carers to have some time to themselves, and want to dedicate coffee mornings to them and their needs, offering support if and where required.”
