Nurturing your Support Network – Looking After You

Hi Reader

How are you?

The theme for this year’s Carers Week is ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’. It took me years to find the support I needed, so what can you do now to ensure you have the right support around you?

  1. Register with your local GP – let them know you are in a caring role, so you are on their system.
  2. Get in touch with Social Services to have a Carers Assessment, to find out what is available for you.
  3. Register with your Carers Centre – they will have lots of support, including meet ups and workshops.

Also, join me for an online talk this Thursday, 11th, 3-4pm, with Carers UK, with ‘What I wish I’d known as a Carer’.
I will be sharing personal experiences of where I went wrong and how I overcame. Click here to register and I look forward to seeing you.

Enjoy Carers Week and look after you!

Lots of love,

November 2026 What I Wish I’d Known as a Carer Myself and Neal in Gran Canaria 2010 Hi Reader How are you? It’s been a few months since my last newsletter, as I’ve been busy editing my second book.

It can affect us mentally, emotionally and physically in ways we could never have imagined. Looking back, there are so many things I wish I’d known. So I thought I’d share a few of the...

April 2026 Putting yourself first– so caring becomes easier Hi Reader How are you? Caring can be all consuming that your life is not your own anymore.
