Mindfulness benefits carers by reducing stress, improving emotional resilience, and enhancing focus. It can help you stay present, manage anxiety, and prevent burnout, leading to better decision-making and quality of care. Mindfulness also fosters self-compassion and emotional well-being, allowing you to maintain a balanced, healthier relationship with your responsibilities. Join Lucy from Presence of Mind every Thursday to start, or continue, your mindfulness journey.

Healthy Eating workshops in partnership with Bread N Butter
2026-01-13 10:30 - 12:30 | Barnet Carers Centre, Global House. 303 Ballards Lane, North Finchley, N12 8NP
Carers Community Weekly Group – Online

Carers often put others’ needs first, but maintaining a healthy diet is vital for their own wellbeing. The demands of caring—long hours, emotional stress, and physical tasks—can sap energy and resilience. Poor nutrition leads to fatigue, reduced concentration, and a weakened immune system, making it harder to provide effective support. Healthy eating helps carers sustain energy levels, manage stress, and maintain emotional balance. Simple changes, such as preparing larger meals to freeze, keeping nourishing snacks on hand, or using meal delivery services, can make a real difference.
But we have the answer – join our Healthy Eating Workshops with Bread’N Butter and get tips on healthy eating, nutrition and ideas for breakfast lunch and dinner.
