Christmas can be a time of great joy; it can also be a time where we need the support of others.
To celebrate Christmas and to bring unpaid carers together, we're organising a special series of get togethers across Cumberland. We're calling them 'Christmas Cuppas'.
What can I expect?
In communities across our region, in a range of popular cafes and restaurants, Christmas Cuppas are a light-heartened, friendly opportunity to come together to celebrate Christmas with a warm drink, a festive mince pie, and plenty of good hearted chat.
You'll join other local carers and members of our friendly team; and together you'll share a brew and a chance to connect. It's very informal, very relaxed and there's no need to pre-book. The more the merrier.
Who can go?
All unpaid adult carers in Cumberland are welcome to come along.
How do I sign up?
There's no need to sign up. Take a look at the dates and locations below and if you're free to join us, we'd love to see you there.
