About Us
The Harborough Carers Wellbeing Support Group meets on the 4th Thursday of every month from 1.30pm – 3:00pm.
We’re a mixed age group of carers and you don’t need to book or let us know you’re coming. Just turn up and we’ll make you welcome. Come along and meet other carers near you for advice, support and to enjoy some ‘time out’ from your caring role. We all know how busy things can be, so if you can’t stay for the whole session, that’s fine, just leave when you need to.
As well as a chat, catch up and cuppa, we regularly invite guest speakers to talk to us on a variety of subjects that are important for us to know about.
