From January 2024, we are offering two monthly carers’ support groups – one for all carers, and one specifically for carers of people living with Dementia.
If you’re an unpaid carer for someone, why not come along to our Carers’ Support Group? This monthly group is run in Darnall, in partnership with Sheffield Carers’ Centre. It’s an opportunity to meet other local carers, share stories and experiences, and find out about help and support available to you. You just need to contact us to book your place, so that we can manage numbers – then come along and join us!
We also offer a support group specifically for carers of people living with Dementia. These monthly sessions are a chance to get to know other local carers, support one another and learn more about Dementia. As above, please contact us to book your place, so that we can manage numbers at the group.
I really did find the information, help, assistance, support and group lovely – I will be back.

Our Dementia Carers’ Support Group was visited in March 2024 by Dr Donal Farrell, a local GP, who shared this feedback from his experience there:
During the Dementia Carers’ Group, it was great to see familiar faces from the Making Memories Music Focus Group and with the theme being ‘Yorkshire’, I learned a lot, including about the local lingo. Opportunities for those with dementia and their carers to actively engage in discussions and tasks in a fun and friendly way was great to see. Drawing on the wisdom of the more experienced participants was a great way to get everyone involved.
