Celebrating over cuppa, cakes and good company! β˜•πŸ°

This year's theme is 'building carer-friendly communities' and this afternoon's coffee morning at Age UK Gateshead is embodies this! Our monthly coffee mornings give caregivers a chance to take a short break from their caring role and chat with other people in similar situations. Being based in central Gateshead at the lovely Age UK Gateshead base gives caregivers the chance to learn more about support for anyone 50+ too!

It's Carers Week!! πŸŽ‰

This week we celebrate and highlight the incredible unpaid caregivers in Gateshead who give so much to support their loved ones and our communities .

Whether you're aged 5 or 105, anyone can become a caregiver at any time and so it's vital that we make sure they know their community is there to support them.

If you know someone who is a caregiver, please tell them about the support available in Gateshead;

πŸ‘‹ We provide a listening ear to all caregivers, bespoke information and advice, signposting to other services, short break and respite opportunities, training and peer groups for caregivers. (https://caregiversconnectedgateshead.co.uk/)

πŸ“‹ Should you need a package of care or support in an emergency, Gateshead Council's Adult Social Care can refer you for a Carer's Assessment. (https://www.gateshead.gov.uk/article/9972/Contact-Adult-Social-Care)
