Writers Who Care
Organised by
Gateshead Carers Association
Location
North East England - Gateshead
Dates
June Wednesday 9th
Writers Who Care is a collection of short stories, poems, and songs that tell our story and give you a glimpse into our lives. Since January 2021, a group of us have been meeting regularly online to take part in creative writing sessions with Liv Hunt. The aim of these sessions was to have a space where we could listen, be heard, connect and support one another. We weren’t too sure what to expect but we all knew we had a story to tell and the want to get our voices heard. And after weeks of connecting, thinking, talking, and writing this is what we have created. An anthology which gives a window into our world. And now we would like to share it with you. As part of the event, we will be talking a little bit about our individual journeys through taking part in the programme, a viewing of a film which documents our process, a few live readings of work created during the course, and then a Q&A. We would really love for you to be there. This project was supported and funded by Helix Arts, Gateshead Council Arts Team and Well Newcastle Gateshead.

During Carers Week 2021 (7-13 June) why not organise your own Tea in your Park by inviting a few friends/family round to your garden/patio for a cuppa and a cake and asking them to make a donation to Gateshead Carers if they enjoyed it! You may prefer to organise a small picnic in your local park or other green space, whatever you can do safely and within the government Covid restrictions set at that time. The theme for Carers Week 2021 is Make Caring Visible and Valued. What better way to celebrate this than by baking and sharing a treat with friends and family. Sign up on our website to let us know you are holding a Tea in your Park event, set up your fundraising page and download our fundraising pack to ensure your event is even more special! It contains templates for your invitation, poster, flyer, donation bucket label and a sponsorship form, which you can use for donations for those wishing to gift aid their donation to your event. Donations can also be made online from your fundraising page.

Scientists tell us we all have a green gene – not literally coloured green of course but one that causes us to feel attracted to and compelled by the natural world. The aim of these sessions is to help you focus on a particular aspect; supporting your wellbeing by taking you to a different world. They are filled with fun and quirky facts, and are seasonally relevant in order to help you remain connected to the world outside your door. King’s Garden is a social enterprise that supports those who need help to access the natural world for themselves; those in care homes, hospitals, living with dementia and/other life-impacting conditions. June – Mystery Guest – have you ever seen Britain’s’ rarest mammal? He’s only been seen in the UK six times and was last spotted sunbathing in Halifax in 2017. He has 23 cousins across the world; not all are red. He’s a member of the dog family but behaves more like a cat. Come and join Isa from King’s Garden as we take a close look at the UK’s most favourite mammal. Something completely different for grown-up children. No prior ‘googling’ allowed!

CHERISH: Caring for University Students’ Mental Health and Wellbeing
Organised by
The University of Westminster
Location
London - London - Westminster
Dates
June Thursday 10th
University of Westminster CHERISH: Caring for University Students’ Mental Health and Wellbeing To mark the Carers Week 2021, the University of Westminster would like to invite you to our CHERISH carers event on Thursday 10th June 2021, which aims to raise awareness of people caring/supporting individuals who may be experiencing difficulties with their mental health and/or wellbeing. Whilst poor mental health has been on the rise for several years amongst this group, it has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, placing greater demand on supportive provisions from professionals, charities, and organisations. In addition, friends, family members, colleagues, and many others are finding themselves in a supporter/carer role. Whilst this can be a rewarding experience, it can also be overwhelming. It is important that supporters/carers look after their mental health and wellbeing and feel supported in their role. The CHERISH Carers Workshop, organised with the support of the Health Innovation and Wellbeing Research Community, will offer a variety of talks and panel discussions from academics, persons with lived experience, and professionals working in different sectors to support mental health. We will cover topics focused on the diversity of what a supportive role may look like, ranging from informal to professional experiences, ways to look after yourself as a supporter/carer, and discussions about the role organisations such as Universities, charities, health care services can play in supporting supporters/carers. Some of the speakers include: Dr. Dominique Thompson: an award-winning GP, young people’s mental health expert, TEDx speaker, author and educator, with over 20 years of clinical experience caring for students. Sally Olohan (MBE): Head of Student Support and Residential Life at University of Westminster. Expert in higher education student support and wellbeing issues, with experience in service design, policy and strategy development. Dr. Kathryn Waddington: Reader in Psychology. Author of the book 'Towards the compassionate university: From golden thread to global impact'; University of Westminster. Laura Culshaw: Doctoral student & assistant psychologist in the NHS research focuses understand self-harm amongst University students; University of Westminster. Tina Cartwright: Reader and Registered Health Psychologists, specialised in the role of yoga and meditation in facilitating health and wellbeing; University of Westminster.

Inviting all Carers to Contribute to NHS Highland Adult Respiratory Service Improvements
Organised by
NHS Highland Respiratory Transformation Pathfinder
Location
Scotland - Highland
Dates
June Tuesday 8th
June Thursday 10th
The Highland TEC (Technology enabled care) respiratory pathfinder project is a mixed group of medical professionals, patients, carers, third sector professionals and UHI researchers working to improve respiratory services in Highland and make them more patient centred by co-designing the service with patients. Our research has highlighted how important the carer’s role is in a patient’s journey and sadly how often carers are forgotten about or not heard when providing health services. Through discussions with patients, carers, medical staff and third sector organisations, we have identified the current problems within the Highland respiratory services and designed a number of solutions to improve the service. We would like to connect with carers to hear your thoughts and opinions about these solutions and how they might most benefit patients while also supporting and benefiting carers themselves. Please join us during carers week for an online discussion and help us to design services that work well for patients and their carers. There are two 4 options for you to attend a discussion: • Tuesday 8th – 12.00-13.00 or 18.00-19.00 • Thursday 10th – 12.00-13.00 or 18.00-19.00

Dates
June Wednesday 9th
Staff at Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre are organising a day-long event to recognise the efforts of carers and highlight the support available as part of Carers Week. The event will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at Holiday Inn Express in Leigh. Carers are invited to go along to take part in a range of activities, including yoga, tai chi, pilates, bike rides, walks, self-defence, mindfulness, special effects make-up, a HIIT exercise session, a dementia talk and even Lego sessions. Some of the sessions will be run by carers, including reiki with people who have been studying with the centre, a card-making workshop and a dance display. There will also be a marketplace where people can get information about the carers centre in Hindley and a wide range of other organisations offering support in the borough, with health workers, legal representatives, mental health workers and staff from Citizens Advice among those on hand. The busy day of events will run from 9am until the evening, allowing younger carers to attend after school, following the centre’s merger with Wigan and Leigh Young Carers.

Wellbeing Week: Evening meditation
Organised by
Oxford Health
Location
South East England - Oxfordshire
Dates
June Monday 7th
Much of our distress in life comes down to the fact that we spend most of our time either thinking about the past or worrying about the future. When we pay attention to where our mind wanders, we start to realise that we are very rarely existing in the present moment. The good news is that being present, being mindful in the moment, is a skill that can be learnt, and meditation is one of the tools we can use to help us develop our mindfulness muscle. Research has shown that meditation can be incredibly beneficial for both our mental and physical health; it's been found to reduce stress, anxiety and even improve symptoms of depression. With a host of benefits, it is worth investing 25-minutes a day to building a practice that will, at the very least, help us to self-regulate our emotions and improve our sense of wellbeing.

Writers Who Care is a collection of short stories, poems, and songs that tell our story and give you a glimpse into our lives. Since January 2021, a group of us have been meeting regularly online to take part in creative writing sessions with Liv Hunt. The aim of these sessions was to have a space where we could listen, be heard, connect and support one another. We weren’t too sure what to expect but we all knew we had a story to tell and the want to get our voices heard. And after weeks of connecting, thinking, talking, and writing this is what we have created. An anthology which gives a window into our world. And now we would like to share it with you. As part of the event, we will be talking a little bit about our individual journeys through taking part in the programme, a viewing of a film which documents our process, a few live readings of work created during the course, and then a Q&A. We would really love for you to be there. This project was supported and funded by Helix Arts, Gateshead Council Arts Team and Well Newcastle Gateshead.

During Carers Week 2021 (7-13 June) why not organise your own Tea in your Park by inviting a few friends/family round to your garden/patio for a cuppa and a cake and asking them to make a donation to Gateshead Carers if they enjoyed it! You may prefer to organise a small picnic in your local park or other green space, whatever you can do safely and within the government Covid restrictions set at that time. The theme for Carers Week 2021 is Make Caring Visible and Valued. What better way to celebrate this than by baking and sharing a treat with friends and family. Sign up on our website to let us know you are holding a Tea in your Park event, set up your fundraising page and download our fundraising pack to ensure your event is even more special! It contains templates for your invitation, poster, flyer, donation bucket label and a sponsorship form, which you can use for donations for those wishing to gift aid their donation to your event. Donations can also be made online from your fundraising page.

You might not be surprised to hear that 64% of people who replied to a survey would not sit and hand write even one letter over the course of a year. Yet 69% said that receiving something handwritten through the post would mean more to them than a text, tweet or Facebook message. This session gives you the chance to make someone’s day, spend an enjoyable hour of writing, crafting a letter to send. We will gather in a small group, with writing prompts to help you shape snippets of life into a letter that only you could write.

Scientists tell us we all have a green gene – not literally coloured green of course but one that causes us to feel attracted to and compelled by the natural world. The aim of these sessions is to help you focus on a particular aspect; supporting your wellbeing by taking you to a different world. They are filled with fun and quirky facts, and are seasonally relevant in order to help you remain connected to the world outside your door. King’s Garden is a social enterprise that supports those who need help to access the natural world for themselves; those in care homes, hospitals, living with dementia and/other life-impacting conditions. June – Mystery Guest – have you ever seen Britain’s’ rarest mammal? He’s only been seen in the UK six times and was last spotted sunbathing in Halifax in 2017. He has 23 cousins across the world; not all are red. He’s a member of the dog family but behaves more like a cat. Come and join Isa from King’s Garden as we take a close look at the UK’s most favourite mammal. Something completely different for grown-up children. No prior ‘googling’ allowed!

Organised by

Location

Dates
Thursday 10th
University of Westminster CHERISH: Caring for University Students’ Mental Health and Wellbeing To mark the Carers Week 2021, the University of Westminster would like to invite you to our CHERISH carers event on Thursday 10th June 2021, which aims to raise awareness of people caring/supporting individuals who may be experiencing difficulties with their mental health and/or wellbeing. Whilst poor mental health has been on the rise for several years amongst this group, it has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, placing greater demand on supportive provisions from professionals, charities, and organisations. In addition, friends, family members, colleagues, and many others are finding themselves in a supporter/carer role. Whilst this can be a rewarding experience, it can also be overwhelming. It is important that supporters/carers look after their mental health and wellbeing and feel supported in their role. The CHERISH Carers Workshop, organised with the support of the Health Innovation and Wellbeing Research Community, will offer a variety of talks and panel discussions from academics, persons with lived experience, and professionals working in different sectors to support mental health. We will cover topics focused on the diversity of what a supportive role may look like, ranging from informal to professional experiences, ways to look after yourself as a supporter/carer, and discussions about the role organisations such as Universities, charities, health care services can play in supporting supporters/carers. Some of the speakers include: Dr. Dominique Thompson: an award-winning GP, young people’s mental health expert, TEDx speaker, author and educator, with over 20 years of clinical experience caring for students. Sally Olohan (MBE): Head of Student Support and Residential Life at University of Westminster. Expert in higher education student support and wellbeing issues, with experience in service design, policy and strategy development. Dr. Kathryn Waddington: Reader in Psychology. Author of the book 'Towards the compassionate university: From golden thread to global impact'; University of Westminster. Laura Culshaw: Doctoral student & assistant psychologist in the NHS research focuses understand self-harm amongst University students; University of Westminster. Tina Cartwright: Reader and Registered Health Psychologists, specialised in the role of yoga and meditation in facilitating health and wellbeing; University of Westminster.

Organised by
Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre

Dates
Wednesday 9th
Staff at Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre are organising a day-long event to recognise the efforts of carers and highlight the support available as part of Carers Week. The event will take place on Wednesday, June 9 at Holiday Inn Express in Leigh. Carers are invited to go along to take part in a range of activities, including yoga, tai chi, pilates, bike rides, walks, self-defence, mindfulness, special effects make-up, a HIIT exercise session, a dementia talk and even Lego sessions. Some of the sessions will be run by carers, including reiki with people who have been studying with the centre, a card-making workshop and a dance display. There will also be a marketplace where people can get information about the carers centre in Hindley and a wide range of other organisations offering support in the borough, with health workers, legal representatives, mental health workers and staff from Citizens Advice among those on hand. The busy day of events will run from 9am until the evening, allowing younger carers to attend after school, following the centre’s merger with Wigan and Leigh Young Carers. It is hoped the day will recognise the efforts of unpaid carers of all ages across the borough, who care for relatives, friends and other people in a variety of circumstances.

Much of our distress in life comes down to the fact that we spend most of our time either thinking about the past or worrying about the future. When we pay attention to where our mind wanders, we start to realise that we are very rarely existing in the present moment. The good news is that being present, being mindful in the moment, is a skill that can be learnt, and meditation is one of the tools we can use to help us develop our mindfulness muscle. Research has shown that meditation can be incredibly beneficial for both our mental and physical health; it's been found to reduce stress, anxiety and even improve symptoms of depression. With a host of benefits, it is worth investing 25-minutes a day to building a practice that will, at the very least, help us to self-regulate our emotions and improve our sense of wellbeing.

Thursday 10th
The Highland TEC (Technology enabled care) respiratory pathfinder project is a mixed group of medical professionals, patients, carers, third sector professionals and UHI researchers working to improve respiratory services in Highland and make them more patient centred by co-designing the service with patients. Our research has highlighted how important the carer’s role is in a patient’s journey and sadly how often carers are forgotten about or not heard when providing health services. Through discussions with patients, carers, medical staff and third sector organisations, we have identified the current problems within the Highland respiratory services and designed a number of solutions to improve the service. We would like to connect with carers to hear your thoughts and opinions about these solutions and how they might most benefit patients while also supporting and benefiting carers themselves. Please join us during carers week for an online discussion and help us to design services that work well for patients and their carers. There are two 4 options for you to attend a discussion: • Tuesday 8th – 12.00-13.00 or 18.00-19.00 • Thursday 10th – 12.00-13.00 or 18.00-19.00

What is Carers Week?
Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.
This year we are coming together to Make Caring Visible and Valued.
The campaign is brought to life by thousands of individuals and organisations who come together to provide support for carers, run activities, highlight the vital role carers play in our communities and draw attention to just how important caring is.

Who is a carer?
A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to a family member or friend who has a disability, illness, mental health condition, or who needs extra help as they grow older. It isn’t someone who volunteers or is employed to provide support.
