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 Harrogate Support Group began to form in 1986, but we officially registered with Rethink Mental Illness in 2002. We offer people living with mental illness and those who support them the chance to come together in a place of mutual support. Our friendly group meets once a month in the afternoon and offers a safe and welcoming space for people to share their experiences and socialise. Tea and coffee is provided; however, because we meet in the afternoon, many members bring their own lunch, so they can enjoy this as they talk. We have a wealth of fact sheets and information, including a resource library, which members can access, as well as information on other local services. Occasionally, we organise for speakers to attend meetings and talk about on topics of interest to further support members or keep them up-to-date with changes to services and care. From time to time, we also arrange social outings and activities outside our regular meetings and work together to fundraise and join local events. New members are always welcome.
