Carer Connect Posted or Updated on 17 Jan 2025

Attendees from the 1st meeting

April saw the successful launch of 'Carer Connect' - a community initiative to support the carers of Much Wenlock & Cressage Medical Practice.

Community & Care Co-ordinator Jo Weaver-Jackson identified the need for the group as so many volunteers and other local initiatives were lost through covid, leaving carers feeling isolated within their own community.

'Face to face contact is fast becoming a thing of the past and that can alienate many patients who are needing reassurance and support in their role as carer.  This group aims to restore that, a safe space to share information and try something new'.

Support for the first meeting came from a variety of service providers, including Shropshire Carers, Age UK, the Alzheimers Society, dementia respite professional Karen Cromwell and our newly appointed Admiral Nurse.  Special thanks also to the High Sheriff of Shropshire who supported our launch with such enthusiasm. All were available to chat informally over refreshments before Sally Tonge and her magical guitar quite literally lifted the spirits of everyone in the room - a great introduction to the joy of music and what better way to signpost people to local singing groups in the area?

'Carer Connect' will continue to meet on the first Tuesday of the month, thanks to the support of the Much Wenlock Forester Charitable Trust.
