Rise & Renew: Re-energising the Carer Within

This two-day overnight retreat provides unpaid carers with the opportunity to step away from the demands of their caring role and reconnect with themselves. 

Caring can become such a significant part of life that it is easy to lose sight of personal identity, interests, and aspirations. This retreat offers a supportive space to reflect on life alongside caring, while gently considering hopes and possibilities beyond the caring role. 

Participants will have the opportunity to: 

  • Reconnect with their identity beyond caring 
  • Reflect on their personal values, strengths, and aspirations 
  • Explore what a meaningful and balanced life looks like for them 

The retreat will also include a guided historical tour, offering participants the chance to explore the local area's rich history while enjoying time outdoors and sharing the experience with fellow carers. The retreat format provides valuable time for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection with others in a welcoming and supportive environment. 

Transport is not provided.
