"Edwinstowe Peer Support Hub"

Encouraged by members of the WADS team my wife Katharine, a dementia sufferer, and I joined this hub some twelve months ago. From the very start we were met with a very warm welcome by an supportive group of people with different backgrounds and experiences but willing to share the challenges we all meet as carers. For us the attraction is having an option to engage in craft activities, something more physical such as yoga or simply sitting down for tea, cake and a chat, all in a very informal, flexible and non judgemental atmosphere. The restrictions imposed on us by the current Covid which now preclude our weekly Hub visits have made me realise just how much value we place on havens such as the Edwinstowe so capably hosted by Outside The Cave, Edwinstowe. Full credit to the WADS team for enabling the formation of such support hubs and encouraging cares to participate.
