Our carer workshops are sessions designed to explore different aspects of caring and are offered in various locations in the county and online on a rolling programme.
Sessions can be between one and three hours long and are open to any carers registered with Carers Northumberland.
The primary aim of each session is to increase knowledge and confidence and to share experiences with other carers – learning from each other and reducing a sense of isolation
Below are just some of the workshops and training we provide but we are willing to consider any aspects of caring that carers may suggest for future sessions.
