Why caregiver coffee mornings matter
An hour a month with people who understand what it's like to care for someone at home can change how the rest of the month feels.

Family caregivers rarely get asked how they are. Coffee mornings are an hour where that is the whole agenda.
There is no presentation. A coordinator is in the room to answer practical questions — respite, medication reminders, what to do when a parent refuses help — but most of the hour is people talking to each other.
What people take home
- A name and number to call when it gets hard
- One practical idea from someone a few months further along
- Permission to book a break without guilt
