2026
On the first Thursday of every month, carers in North Essex come together for a relaxed craft session. Some people start a new project, while others continue working on something theyโve already begun. Each month often includes a themed activity to spark ideas and creativity.
The group is led and facilitated by Paula, who creates a warm, welcoming space for carers to unwind, chat and enjoy some time for themselves.
