Our Hull Carers group has been meeting for several years now. We are a friendly group that meets once a month in an afternoon. We offer a safe, relaxing space for people caring for someone with mental illness to share what sort of month they’ve had. This typically leads to members offering support and encouragement to each other. We never put pressure on anyone to share. We just offer the space for people to do so freely and without judgement, so our members feel less isolated and more supported. We provide information, share knowledge and skills and occasionally organise for speakers to talk about services that may offer further support for carers. New members are warmly welcome.

Our Scunthorpe Carers group has been running since 2002 and offers a safe and welcoming space for anyone that cares or supports someone living with mental illness. Our friendly group meets once a month to share experiences, support and information. We occasionally organise for speakers to talk about topics of interest, provide up-to-date information on services in the area, and how carers can look after themselves. We often arrange social outings and events that we can enjoy together, outside our monthly meetings.

Our group has been supporting people affected by mental illness and their families for over 30 years. The group runs two programmes: the first is a monthly social club (Club 84) which offers peer support at its meetings and outings for about 8–10 people who have experienced mental ill health. The second programme is a Carers’ Support Group which also meets monthly and is run in partnership with York Carers Centre. Members support and encourage each other and, with input from visiting speakers, are kept up-to-date with changes to local services and care. About 20 carers regularly attend meetings. Working in partnership with others to improve local services and care, and ensuring the voice of carers is heard by local authorities, are also an important part of our work.
