Carers Cuppa & Chat
Finished
Join us for a special 1-hour session in support of Carers Week 2025, hosted by the SPACE (Supporting Parents and Carers @ Cambridge Network). This event is an excellent opportunity for staff and students to come together, share experiences, and gain valuable insights from the Chair of SPACE, Rachel Bailey, and other community members. Who is a carer? A carer is anyone who provides unpaid care to a family member (child with additional needs or an adult), partner or friend who, due to illness, disability, a mental health condition, or an addiction, could not cope without their support. This care may be provided remotely and/or in-person. Whether you have caring responsibilities, know someone who has, or simply want to learn more about the challenges and rewards of caregiving, this session is for you. Come along to connect, support, and know that you are not alone. We look forward to seeing you there! |
