A GROUP for carers will meet in Consett Methodist Church Hall from 10am to noon every Tuesday, from August 8.
It will offer the chance for carers to talk in confidence with a support worker and to talk to other carers.
There will also be free expert welfare rights advice and cheap aromatherapy and reflexology appointments.
Carers' Support Derwentside is a charity offering carers two or more hours a week respite.
It also helps carers set up groups, and run drop-ins. Carers can get information, arrange home visits or join groups. For details, ring Steve Bamlett, on (01207) 502688
