A leisure course for carers, introducing them to watercolour techniques. The course also encourages social interaction.
Why they need our serviceCarers experience many different caring situations. Despite differing caring roles, all carers share some basic needs. All carers also need services to be able to recognise the individual and changing needs throughout their caring journey. Social interactions through leisure courses is one way of supporting carers. It is anticipated more courses will be needed to help ease the pressures on family and friends.
Plan and expected resultsCarers who attend the programme will begin to develop an understand of the watercolour techniques they can use. They will also begin to develop new friendships with other carers.
