We are a peer-led support group for carers. We know that being a carer can be isolating, so we aim to introduce you to other carers in the same situation. We share helpful information and invite guest speakers to talk at meetings.

We are a group of people affected by mental health issues, either directly, as family members or friends, or because we work in the field of mental health. We believe the voice of lived experience should be heard and welcome everyone who shares this view. We aim to act as a forum for the exchange of innovative ideas around areas of mental health and inclusion, to network, and to take positive action to change perceptions and improve people’s lives. We listen to a range of speakers, discuss ideas and plan campaigns. We meet monthly. Please contact us for more information.

We are a friendly group of carers that meet in Beaconsfield. We come together once a month as a peer-led support group, with meetings taking place in the evening. We also arrange to meet for a coffee and catch-up in the morning, which can be convenient for those who can't attend an evening meeting. We organise outings and a variety of social events throughout the year to help alleviate social isolation. In addition, we also support our local supported housing for people living with mental illness.
