💜💚 A LITTLE TIME FOR YOU CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE! 💗

🌸 Carers spend so much time looking after others – but who's looking after you?

At Rotherham Carers Forum, our weekly wellbeing sessions are all about giving carers the opportunity to relax, recharge, connect with others and enjoy some much-needed time for themselves. ❤️

✨ And the results speak for themselves!👇

🌈 Why not join us?

Our friendly weekly wellbeing sessions offer a variety of activities, from Chairobics and Qigong to relaxation and holistic therapies.

📅 Every Monday (excluding bank holidays)
📍 Victory Wellbeing Collective, Rawmarsh

Whether you fancy trying something new, meeting other carers or simply taking a little time for yourself, we'd love to welcome you. 💕

💬 Because looking after yourself matters too!

💜💚 CARERS – YOUR VOICE MATTERS! 📢

Do you support a family member, friend or loved one?

Whether it's helping with shopping, managing appointments, providing personal care or simply being there when someone needs you – your experiences matter! ❤️

The University of Birmingham, working with the Centre for Care, is inviting carers to take part in a new Survey of Carers.

🗣️ This is your opportunity to tell policymakers what would make a real difference to your life as a carer.

Your feedback could help shape future decisions about the support carers need, including services provided by local councils.

✅ Share your experiences
✅ Help improve support for carers
✅ Influence future social care decisions
✅ Responses are anonymous

💜 At Rotherham Carers Forum, we believe carers should be listened to, valued and involved in decisions that affect their lives.

Let's make sure carers' voices are heard!

👉 Take part in the survey:

📧 Questions? Contact: [email protected]

Please note: This independent research survey is being conducted by the University of Birmingham in collaboration with the Centre for Care, not Rotherham Carers Forum.

This pilot study aims to better understand the experiences and lives of people who provide support to a family member, friend, neighbour or someone else for reasons related to long-term illness, disability, physical or mental health conditions, substance misuse, or older age.
