Work, rest and play

Work, rest and play

We know you are a committed carer but you have a right to a life of your own. You need freedom to pursue any training, learning or work opportunities and time to attend events and activities.

Events and activities

There are a number of events and activities aimed specifically at carers that can provide a break from caring and the chance to meet others in a similar situation.

Activities for carers:

Havering Carers' Hub offers the following,

From support groups to day trips, enjoying activities outside your caring role can  improve your quality of life. It's also a great opportunity to meet other people who are carers too. You might find it helps you to talk to other carers; mutual support is free and perhaps you can help someone else by lending a listening ear.

It can be hard to keep up with your social life if you have a caring role, so groups like this are important. Carers of Barking and Dagenham organise regular events, from quiz nights to day trips.
