THE PARENTS GROUP

Parents Groups run every 6 – 8 weeks.  All parents that access our Young Carers service are welcome. We understand that some parents can often feel isolated due to their own illness or disability or caring for a disabled child. The sessions give parents the opportunity to socialise, relax, learn new skills and have fun!

Over the past 18 months we have run various workshops including Chocolate Creations, Relax and Meditate, Massage, Aromatherapy, Flower Arranging and Needlework.  All workshops are run by professional tutors in partnership with Stockport Continuing Education service.  The sessions are at different venues such as the Dialstone Centre, Offerton and the Lapwing Centre, Brinnington.  Our mini-bus is available to pickup and drop off from Grand Central, Stockport.

The group usually runs from 10am to 2pm, plenty of time to be back in time for the school run! The workshops are funded by ourselves and we also provide lunch and refreshments. During the Summer months we try to offer at least one trip out.  Last year we visited Tatton Park.  It was lovely relaxing day, after a cup a tea we had a stroll around the beautiful gardens, then after a picnic lunch we visited the Hall.

Information about forthcoming Parents Groups are included in the regular Young Carers Newsletter.  For bookings or for more information please feel free to call the office on 0161 947 4690.
