☕ Coffee & Company: Get-Togethers to Combat Loneliness 💛
15-21 June is Loneliness Awareness Week.
Loneliness can affect anyone — regardless of age, background, or lifestyle. Sometimes it’s invisible to others, but its impact on mental and physical wellbeing can be significant.
A simple conversation, friendly check-in, or small act of kindness can make a real difference to someone who may be struggling in silence.
Connection matters. Compassion matters. No one should feel alone. 💛
If this resonates with you, we’d love to invite you to our next Coffee & Company get-together on Friday 26th June 1-3pm at the Aster Care office, 591 London Road, Portsmouth, PO2 9SD.
Come along and enjoy:
☕ Tea, coffee & cake
💬 Friendly conversation & companionship
🎲 Games, quizzes & bingo
😊 A warm and welcoming environment
We look forward to seeing you there!

📣 Myeloma Awareness Week | 15–21 June

This week, we're supporting the 'Know the Warning Signs' campaign from Myeloma UK to help raise awareness of myeloma, a type of blood cancer.

Recognising the signs and symptoms early can help people seek medical advice sooner and may lead to an earlier diagnosis.

We encourage everyone to take a few moments to learn more about myeloma and the warning signs to look out for.

💙 Please share this post to help spread awareness.

To celebrate Carers Week (8–14 June) and Portsmouth 100, the Portsmouth Carers Centre are inviting local businesses, organisations, groups and teams to pledge their support for unpaid carers 💙

At Aster, we pledge to:
“Recognise, support and value carers by listening to what matters most to them, helping them access the right support, and working together to make Portsmouth a more carer-friendly community.”

We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Portsmouth Carers Centre for the incredible work they do every day to support unpaid carers across our community. 💙

Local businesses and services play an important role in building carer friendly communities by making everyday places more understanding, flexible, and accessible for people with caring responsibilities. Through staff awareness, flexible service delivery, inclusive policies, and visible support for carers, they can reduce practical barriers and create welcoming environments where carers feel recognised and respected.

By working in partnership with local carers’ support organisations and community services, local businesses and services can help to raise awareness, strengthen local networks, and contribute to communities where carers are supported to participate fully in daily life.

We’re proud to share the pledge from Aster Care:
📣 “Recognise, support, and value carers by listening to what matters to them, helping them find the right support, and working together to make Portsmouth a more carer-friendly community.”

💡 Small actions really do make a big difference.

📸 If you'd like to create your pledge for Portsmouth Carers, take a photo with your team, and send it to us to be featured.

👉 Find pledge boards and more information here:

Together, we can make Portsmouth a place where carers feel recognised, valued and supported.

💜 Carers Week 2026: Building Carer Friendly Communities 💜

This year's Carers Week theme, Building Carer Friendly Communities, highlights the importance of creating places where unpaid carers feel recognised, valued, supported, and connected.

Carers play a vital role in our communities, often putting the needs of others before their own. By working together, we can help ensure carers have access to the support, understanding, and opportunities they need to thrive.

To celebrate Carers Week, we would like to invite carers and those they care for to join us for our Coffee & Company Afternoon:

📅 Friday 26th June
🕐 1:00pm – 3:00pm
☕ Refreshments and Cake provided
🤝 A chance to meet others, share experiences, and enjoy good company

Everyone is welcome.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Do you need a break?

Caring for a loved one takes love and dedication, but supporting someone with dementia or other long-term conditions can be physically and emotionally challenging.

Without regular breaks, many carers experience burnout, stress, and fatigue — and that can make caring even harder.

That’s why it’s important to Take a Break. It gives carers time to:
Rest and recharge mentally
Catch up on sleep
Attend their own appointments
Spend time with family and friends
And while carers take time to recharge, their loved ones continue to receive safe, supportive care and company from a friendly, trusted companion.

💙 You don’t have to do it all alone.
If you’re caring for someone at home and need support, we’re here to help.
