Art Group

/in , /by

The Carers’ Art Group welcomes unpaid carers to enjoy a creative, relaxing space. You’re invited to let go of daily pressures and find joy in making art with others.

First Thursday of the month

Carers’ Support Service,

11 Redcombe Lane, Brigg, DN20 8AU

10:30am – 12.30pm

 

 

You must book ahead, as places are limited. All materials are provided for you.

Each month we focus on a different project. You might individually explore needle felting, wet felting, painting, drawing, or clay modelling. Our experienced tutor supports every step and welcomes all abilities.  No experience is necessary.

The session offers more than creative fun. It gives carers space to relax, connect, and prioritise wellbeing. Working alongside others in a gentle, supportive environment can reduce stress and boost confidence.

The Carers Support Service has supported unpaid carers in North and North East Lincolnshire for over 30 years. We offer a wide range of free, confidential services, including:

– Benefits guidance and social care signposting

– Holistic Therapies

– Keyworker Support

– Peer support groups, counselling, training, and wellbeing events

Art and craft workshops link creativity with caring. They help carers explore new ways to express emotions, practice mindfulness, and share experiences with peers. You might bring a caring story to share or just enjoy the calm of hands-on work.

Places are limited. So book early to try something creative and fun. To book, find out more about this group, or for free confidential advice and support in your caring role call 01652 650585, or email info@carerssupportcentre.com.

Tai Chi – North Lincolnshire

/in , /by

Tai Chi for Carers supports your wellbeing through slow, mindful movement. It improves strength, balance, and relaxation in one simple practice.

Our Tai Chi sessions offer a hands-on way for unpaid carers to care for themselves. You learn gentle exercises in a friendly group at the Carers Support Service.

Usually on the last Friday of the month, but dates do change.

 

The Carers’ Support Service

11 Redcombe Lane, Brigg, DN20 8AU

10.00am – 11.00am

 

Tai Chi enhances balance and coordination to help reduce the risk of falls.  Its flowing movements also boost flexibility and core strength while being easy on the joints. Many participants report feeling calmer and more grounded after each class.

These sessions help manage stress. The deliberate, mindful motions and controlled breathing help release tension. This gentle practice reduces anxiety, supports mood, and enhances mental clarity.

Classes run monthly lasting around one hour. Our experienced instructors welcome all abilities and offer modifications to suit each attendee’s mobility level.

Booking is essential on 01652 650585

At the Carers Support Service, we’ve supported carers for nearly 30 years.  Alongside Tai Chi, we offer free, confidential help such as benefits advice, peer groups, key worker support, counselling, training, volunteering opportunities and wellbeing activities.

Tai Chi is a great opportunity to combine physical care with emotional restoration.

When you join a Tai Chi group, you’ll:

– Move gently but effectively

– Boost your physical and emotional strength

– Connect with fellow carers in a calm environment

– Learn practical tools to manage stress at home

Booking in advance ensures a place. To join or ask about upcoming sessions, call 01652 650585. You can also email info@carerssupportcentre.com for more information.

These sessions restore energy and focus. That makes caring a little easier and more balanced—for you and those you care for.
