Carer support groups
Talking to other carers can be a big comfort and a great source of information when you need help and advice or just want to discuss how you feel. That’s why we host and support numerous groups throughout Oxfordshire.
Oxford Carers Group
Join the Carer’s Oxfordshire Support Group and get comfort from talking to other carers who understand your situation.
You can find us at the Bullingdon Community Association, Peat Moors, Headington, Oxford OX3 7HS on every third Tuesday of the month from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm.

Care for a Cuppa
Held on Zoom, CarersUK’s online ‘Care for a Cuppa’ chats offer a space for carers to connect, share experiences and find mutual support. They hold weekly sessions, mostly on Monday afternoons, and a monthly evening session if carers can’t attend during the daytime.
You can find further details and see upcoming sessions on the Carers UK website.
Vale of White Horse Carers Group
The group is for adult carers aged 18+ and living in the Vale of White Horse. The carer is welcome to come alone or with their loved one. Each week there are complimentary drinks and snacks. Once a month they intend to hold an event such as flower arranging, cake decorating or guest speakers.
You can find this group at 18 Ironside Dr, Watchfield, Swindon SN6 8RL every Wednesday morning during term time.

There are many more carer support groups in Oxfordshire.
Some carer support groups are for unpaid carers in general (including the groups we run) while others are aimed at carers of people with specific conditions such as dementia, autism, mental health illness or addictions. There are also groups for specific communities for example Veterans.
