Q1: Creating an Engaging Offer for Carers

Adult carers come from a wide range of backgrounds, ages and caring situations. If you were responsible for developing a programme of activities within your local area, what types of groups, events or wellbeing opportunities would you offer, and how would you ensure they appealed to a diverse range of carers? 

We’re interested in hearing your ideas, creativity and understanding of the differing needs and interests of carers.

We recommend a maximum of 400 words per question, to help you provide focused and relevant responses.
