Online Dementia Carer Peer Support Group

Online Dementia Carer Peer Support Group – North and North East Lincolnshire

Caring for someone with dementia can feel isolating—but hopefully our online dementia carer peer support group can change that.  This group online offers a safe, supportive space for unpaid carers across North and North East Lincolnshire.

You can meet with other carers over Zoom once a month. You can ask questions, share challenges, and hear tips from those who understand. Or, have conversations completely unrelated to caring – the choice is up to you!

First Wednesday of each month 2pm – 3.30pm.

You don’t need expert knowledge or a wrath of conversation starters —just a willingness to connect.

We open the session with a warm welcome, followed by discussion and peer sharing, we usually finish with a short general knowledge quiz or other short activity.

Sometimes the session includes mini-training on subjects such as Sundowning, or Home Safety, or hosts a guest speaker.  You may also suggest topics important to you and the group and get answers to any questions that you have.

Our caring facilitators guide conversations, ensuring everyone feels heard. We share practical advice on topics such as:

– Communication strategies with PLWD (People Living With Dementia)

– Wellbeing tips for carers and their loved ones

– Using local support

– Planning for changes and future care needs

The Carers Support Service and Dementia Direct has supported carers for nearly 30 years. We offer free, confidential help, including peer groups, training, emotional support, advice, and activities. This online group connects carers who cannot attend in-person sessions, building community wherever they live.

Joining is simple. We’ll email you the Zoom link.  You do not need to download any software to your computer, tablet or phone. You can join from home using a device with internet access, a microphone and ideally a camera. No travel, no pressure—just supportive connection in your own space.

To learn more, or receive the Zoom link call 01472 242 277 for North East Lincolnshire or 01652 650585 for North Lincolnshire. You can also email info@carerssupportcentre.com.

We believe carers are stronger together. This online group helps you feel connected, informed, and supported—while caring in confidence.
