Help for Carers

Help for South Asian Carers in the Tameside area

Support Groups

Tameside Carers Centre offers Asian Carers the opportunity to meet and discuss topical issues in a warm and friendly environment where light refreshments are provided free of charge.

Meetings are held every 3rd Tuesday of the month at Tameside Volunteer Centre, Penny Meadow, Ashton-under-Lyne and on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at the Healthy Living Centre, Great Norbury Street, Hyde. On occasion, outside guest speakers are invited to come along and share specific information. All Asian Carers are welcome to drop in for a chat, a listen or to express anything that they might want to bring up. Obviously, people using 'mother-tongue' languages are catered for and encouraged to attend. language support is available.

Carers will have to make their own way to the venue and also their own 'minding' arrangements for the person they care for.
