We are a very long running carers support group that meets in Cambridge and Peterborough. We are visited by speakers, have a large amount of local knowledge and experience, and constantly welcome new carers to the group. We provide a telephone support line (07783 267013) run by carers for other carers. Group members are also involved in making sure the voices of carers are heard by local NHS and social care services.

The purpose of our group is to bring together the parents and partners of people with first-hand experience of mental illness. We do this in an informal atmosphere where people can give each other mutual support. This is especially important for people whose loved ones have recently been diagnosed, and those who are new to the systems and challenges that people affected by mental illness commonly face.

We aim to support those who support others with their mental health, whether family members or friends. These people often don’t know how to support their loved one, friend or sibling and find the situation they're facing very confusing. As well as supporting people who support others, and helping them support each other, we have started a creative writing group for people with lived experience of mental illness. This gives members the opportunity to express themselves in a way they might not have been able to before.
