UNPAID MALE CARERS GROUPS
Our registered Unpaid Male Carer Group usually meet on the last Tuesday of every month in various locations covering North, Central & South Aberdeenshire.
We engage with local activities and organisations to allow a break from your caring role and socialise with other male carers. This is also a great opportunity to try new activities and hobbies as well as have a bit of fun!
Spaces are usually free and numbers limited for the organised activities and priority will be given to Carers from the area we are covering at that time. Some previous group activities include Dolphin spotting - Aberdeen harbour tours, ten pin bowling, National Trust visit to various castles and walks in their grounds & Peterhead Football Club tour.
If you would like to express your interest in attending any of the forthcoming events listed below, enrolling & receiving regular information about the group and having your say about which activities you would like to see or are available in your area, if you could please complete the short form linked here: Male Carer Group – Fill in form.
