"Has helped me so much over the last few months"

About: Community Services / North Lanarkshire Disability Forum

(as a carer),

I accessed the services of the Little Care Hub last year as I am a carer for my disabled adult son. 

I hadn’t accessed carer services for a number of years due to working & carer commitments so it was daunting to trace part in a new group and meet new people. 

I needn’t have worried as Laura is so friendly and caring I was instantly put at ease. The group was a craft group so it was nice to learn a new skill and chat to other carers in the same position who were also attending the group. 

The group then progressed onto sewing ( which I love) , so I’ve had a chance to improve my sewing skills and build friendships within the group.

Going to the group is something I look forward to, having some down time helps me to deal with the challenges of my caring time throughout the week. 

Unfortunately this group is now coming to an end and I’m sad not to have this to look forward to as it has helped me so much over the last few months.

Hi turkeypx79,

Thankyou very much for your lovely feedback, it really does help us develop our service.

I am delighted to hear Laura was able to put you at ease and you found her to be friendly and caring.

It is great to hear the sessions have given you something to look forward to and I know we will be working hard to try and do more of these type of activities in the future if we can, especially as they offer the downtime you mention and help deal with the challenges being a carer can sometimes bring.

Wishing you all the best,

Lorraine Van Beuge
