Last week, seventeen carers from Audlem Carers' Support Group enjoyed a Carers' Break Day at Hill Valley Spa in Whitchurch. Carers enjoyed spa treatments of their choice, a swim and afternoon tea in very comfortable surroundings.

They were ably supported by Audlem & District Community Action (ADCA) staff, Lyn Morear and Ronni Briggs who organized the day with the funding made available via Cheshire East Council and the local Health Clinical Commissioning Groups.

Carers' Breaks funding is made available by central government as caring for somebody can be a full time job – so breaks are vital to carers' own well-being and quality of life.

There are 6.5 million people in the UK who are carers, looking after a parent, partner, child or friend. Caring means something different for everyone but carers tell us that they cannot keep going without a break from time to time.

Audlem Carers' Support Group, which is part of ADCA, receives funding for regular breaks throughout the year, to support the running of the group and to keep in touch with over forty local carers with information and advice.

The Support Group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at the Lord Combermere, The Square, Audlem. Drop in between 10am and 12noon for coffee, chat and information. We have regular speakers who give advice and information to carers as well as on topics of general interest.

The Support Group is open to everyone who provides care support to family members, friends or neighbours. You are most welcome to come along and join us
