NEW Sutton College Course: Looking after Older Loved Ones

This course is a collaboration between the Council, Sutton College, Sutton Carer’s Centre, Citizens Advice and Sutton Talking Therapies, and is a part of the borough’s new Carers Strategy. 

“Looking after Older Loved Ones” provides practical information and advice to support unpaid carers throughout their caring journey, covering topics such as carer’s rights, financial and legal matters, home adaptations, assistive technology, looking after yourself and planning ahead.

The course  will run every other week,  starting on Thursday 25th September and finishing on Thursday 20th November.

There are two time slots available: a mid-day session from 12.00pm - 2.00pm or an afternoon session from 2.30pm - 4.30 pm, so carers can pick the one that best suits their schedule.

Each session  includes 90 minutes of interactive learning followed by an optional half an hour to socialise with tea, coffee and cake!

To be eligible to attend, carers must have recently started providing unpaid care for another adult, such as a partner or older family member and have a Sutton postcode OR be registered with a Sutton GP.
