– With funding from the 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝, we are excited to bring 𝐄𝐂𝐍’𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 & 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞.A free welcoming space for family carers who care for a young person or adult with a learning disability, which may include autism and other disabilities. This will be a chance to take a break from your caring role whilst enjoying some crafts, chatting to other family carers and sharing a cuppa and some biscuits. We are beginner friendly and love to see people take away something they have never tried before.
