Thanks to a grant from the One Community Foundation, Carers Count Kirklees will be running two Sanctuary Days in March next year. 

In Kirklees, 56,000 adults provide unpaid care for a loved one. Many face tough emotional challenges because of their caring responsibilities. Most carers say they feel isolated, with 81% feeling cut off socially and over half admitting to feelings of loneliness.  

The Sanctuary Days will bring carers together and give them the essential break they need to care for themselves. It will be two full-day events, with relaxing activities such as meditation, arts and crafts, gentle movement and a social lunch. 

Carers will have the chance to spend time with others who truly understand what they are going through, and the Carers Count Kirklees team will be on hand for one-to-one support for those who need it.  

It’s all happening at the beautiful Oakwell Hall Barn, a perfect place to relax and recharge. The full-day event includes return travel to the venue, refreshments, and lunch throughout the day.   

Look out for further details on how you can join us and book into this event! 

We would like to thank One Community Foundation for their support, which makes the Sanctuary Days possible. Find out more about One Community Foundation and the great work they do at: https://one-community.org.uk/
