Cup of Caring

If you are caring for someone this group can offer you support and respite. We welcome carers of all ages, those who care for the physically disabled as well as those caring for people with conditions such as dementia.

You are welcome to bring the person you care for along too, we have enough volunteers to look after them while you take a break, relax and chat to other carers or our volunteers.

Our mornings are themed, often with outside speakers, we use reminiscence resources and arrange visits to places of interest. We also provide refreshments and occasional meals.

The group meets on the second and last Thursday of each month, 10.30am – 12noon at The Hub in Wymondham.

The group is led by Libby Creber who has a Post Graduate diploma in Person Centred Counselling and a MA in Counselling (UEA 2011). Her MA centred around research into the lives of people who care for their spouses or relatives. Contact Libby on 07747 616531.

“The last 8 months have been really difficult for us...the DWP incorrectly removing most of our benefits...we thought we would have to give up our car...re-home our cats...but thanks to you at STEPS we have not had to face either. We really don't know what we would have done without your help...we cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to help us through such a dark time in our lives.”
