TRIPS AND EVENTS
Carers need to take a break from caring.
Taking a break can help you to recharge your batteries and can prevent ill
health as a result of tiredness and stress. We run a year round
calendar of organised trips out and events to help you to take a break with
other carers. They are open to carers and former carers whose caring
role has ended in the last two years. TRIPS
AND EVENTS BOOKING PROCEDURE
A £5 deposit is required
to secure your place on all trips and events this deposit is then refundable
to all Carers who attend, the deposit will be returned on the day of the
trip. To secure your place on each trip you can provisionally book by
telephone but then a £5 must be received by the centre within 14 days of
putting your name down, otherwise your place may be offered to another carer. We have also introduced a ‘book
