Join Mike and Kezia at our offices in North Finchley for a coffee (or tea) and a chat. This is an informal gathering that you can drop into. If there are things we can do to help you, we will do our best, but it is also about having some friendly social time.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Some things participants have said about the sessions

“You can lose yourself doing something creative.”

Carers Community Weekly Group – Online

Join us by Zoom every week for the Carers Community. This meeting is all about you so we will be experimenting to make sure we get a format that is right for people. It will be led mostly by Mike Rich, CEO at Barnet Carers but – when Mike is not available will be covered by others.
We would like to discuss a specific topic every week for part of the meeting and have a general discussion in the first part. But we can discuss this as we go along.
The Zoom details are below:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88417593825?pwd=[REDACTED] ID: 884 1759 3825Passcode: [REDACTED]

Fun drama and creative skills Improvisation and comedy exercises. Get to know you exercises Fun team games, storytelling and character games, devising small performances. We will laugh, be silly and use fun drama games and exercises for unpaid carers to let their hair down, meet other people in their situation and learn some confidence building performance skills. This training will gradually build skills throughout the session(s) so no performance experience is necessary- just a willingness to have fun!
