Recharge Your Batteries (Carers Group)

Recharge Your Battery is a supportive and uplifting group created especially for carers of people living with dementia. Co-designed by former carers with lived experience, the group recognises the emotional challenges, isolation, and pressures of caring, and provides a safe space to take time out, relax, and focus on your own wellbeing.

What we offer

We offer a range of calming and enjoyable activities, including pampering sessions such as hand and shoulder massages and mehndi (henna), gentle exercise, and themed dance sessions. You’ll also have access to helpful information, relevant guest speakers, and peer support. Light refreshments are provided in a warm, cosy environment.

Who is it for

This group is for anyone caring for a loved one with dementia who may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or in need of some “me time” and connection with others who understand their journey.
