Support for Unpaid Caregivers

Lightening the Load Together

At Grace Cares, we’re on a mission to make care more sustainable – not just for the environment, but for the people at the heart of it all. That includes unpaid caregivers – the family members, friends and neighbours who dedicate their time and energy to supporting others without formal recognition or pay.

We know that caring can be both rewarding and exhausting. That’s why we’re stepping up to offer a space where unpaid caregivers can feel seen, supported and heard.

Why This Matters

To make sure we’re offering the right kind of support, we listened.
Through a dedicated caregiver consultation, we received incredibly honest feedback that opened our eyes to the real challenges faced every day. These included:

• A lack of formal training or recognition for the caregiving role

• Impacts on emotional, psychological and physical health

• Gaps in support for the person being cared for

• Difficulty finding and accessing helpful information and services

We heard you – and we’re responding.

Unpaid Caregiver Support Sessions

We host regular support sessions for unpaid caregivers both face to face and online. These sessions are designed to bring people together in a welcoming, friendly environment where you can:

• Connect with others in a similar situation

• Share experiences and tips

• Access advice, signposting and professional guidance

• Hear from expert guest speakers

• Help shape the future of the group together

Whether you’re a full-time caregiver, help out a few hours a week, or are just starting your journey – this space is for you.

Sessions are free to attend, but registration is essential due to some venues capacity.

If you’d like to come along – or want to be kept in the loop about future sessions – simply follow the RSVP link below.
