Carers Week is a chance to recognise the vital role unpaid carers play in our communities.

This year’s theme, building carer-friendly communities, highlights how important it is that carers feel seen, supported and able to access help when they need it.

Carers’ groups offer space to connect, share experiences and take time for wellbeing.

We’ve recently shared more about carers’ groups in West Mendip, how they bring people together and offer support. Read more on our website 👉 westmendippcn.co.uk/support-for-carers

🫶 Bringing local support together in West Mendip

A recent Health & Wellbeing Community Event saw local and Somerset‑wide services come together at St. Dunstan's House Community Health & Wellbeing Centre, helping people explore the support available closer to home.

It was wonderful to see so many people connecting with services in one place, receiving health checks and wellbeing advice, information on ways to stay active, mental health support and the opportunity to join community groups.

Alongside this, invited patients attended pre‑arranged musculoskeletal (MSK) and physiotherapy appointments with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust as part of their ongoing care.

The event, organised by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, Somerset Activity & Sports Partnership - SASP, West Mendip Primary Care Network and Glastonbury Town Council, was a great example of bringing care to the community through collaboration.

🪑 Resting when you need to

There’s no pressure to complete the full walk - you’re welcome to turn back early or sit out if that feels better for you.

Look after yourself and we’ll see you at 10am outside Glastonbury Town Hall if you're able to make it.
