Support for Carers, Family and Friends

Whether you are looking after someone or adjusting to living on your own, cooking can be a challenge. Our cooking group is designed to help those caring and who may be bereaved gain confidence in the kitchen.

As well as learning recipes you can use at home, it’s a chance to meet and socialise with others while having fun with food. Everything you make can be taken home to enjoy.

To find our more or book on to this course, please contact our Central Referral Centre on 0845 070 8910 (option 2)

"Meeting other carers who were in exactly the same position as me was very reassuring. I found it particularly comforting to be able to share my feelings and experiences with those who really understood."

St Margaret’s Hospice drop-in support is open to anyone affected by a life-limiting illness - patients, family, friends and carers. We offer a listening ear, information and help to sign-post to other services. Just call in.
