 Six sessions on Thursdays will run at the Miners Welfare Hall, Wesley Road, Cinderford. All sessions are free and will run from 10.30am-1pm.

The weekly sessions will focus on different aspects of caring such as how to access services, finances, how to look after yourself and juggling caring with other responsibilities.
