Young Adult Carers Walk and Talk Group (Ages 18-25)
Being a young adult carer can sometimes feel isolating—but you’re not alone.
Our new Walk & Talk group is designed just for carers aged 18-25, offering a chance to take a break, meet others who understand, and enjoy time outdoors in a relaxed, friendly setting.
What’s different about this group?
- Three one-to-one sessions – Talk about the support you need
- Three group sessions – Meet and connect with others
- Free refreshments & food after each session
Since this is a brand-new service, we’d love your input!
