Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also come with its challenges. Whether you are supporting a relative, friend or neighbour, we know how much you give…and we want to give something back to YOU!
This April, we will be hosting our second annual Carers Connections Day — in partnership with Epping Forest District Council. A special event just for caregivers promising information, practical advice and connection in a welcoming and supportive space.
- Date — Thursday 30th April 2026
- Time — 10am-12pm & 1-3pm
- Location — Waltham Abbey Leisure Centre, EN9 3EL
Unlocking the information you need to help you to care
The event welcomes those who provide care to someone who couldn’t manage without their help to learn more about the support they can access in their caring role.
You will be able to speak to the St Clare team about the support available from your local hospice as well as meet representatives from Epping Forest District Council’s Community Engagement Team and other local organisations who will be able to answer all your questions.
