Looking after a friend or relative can be challenging. With so much to do each day, it’s easy to forget to look after yourself. Since 2002, Breathing Space has offered retreats and groups to help local carers get some well-earned time out.
One of the consequences of the pandemic has been increased social isolation for older adults, and feelings of chronic loneliness. We are working with local East London and UK-wide organisations to help better serve older adults.
We want to make sure our courses are available to those who currently don’t have the means to pay a standard fee. For those that would like to participate but can’t afford the minimum payment for our courses, we have a number of bursary places available.
