⏰ One week today our FREE carer support session comes to Dumfries!

Are you an unpaid carer looking for advice, training, support, or just a bit of time for yourself? Come along and let us help.

Join us at Browne House for a relaxed, open session where you can get practical guidance on whatever matters most to you right now and connect with other carers.

🥗 A free lunch from Crichton Central is included for everyone who attends.

And if you need someone to look after your loved one while you're there, we can help arrange respite support so you can come along. Just get in touch and we'll sort it.

📍 Browne House, The Crichton, Dumfries
📅 Monday 17 August, 10:00–15:00
🥗 Free lunch at 12:00
🚪 Stay for an hour or stay all day, whatever works for you

Spaces are limited, so please get in touch to save your place:

📞 01387 249111

Please share this with any carer in the Dumfries area who might benefit. 💚
