If you have caring responsibilities, would you like to cope better, feel more in control and be more resilient?

The Hope Programme for carers has been developed by carers, Hope for the Community CIC and researchers at Coventry University - there has been great feedback from those who have taken part in these sessions previously and found the programme has helped in managing their caring role.

The programme will be 6 weekly sessions, covering topics such as:

  • Getting better sleep
  • Avoiding burnout
  • Communication and Relationships
  • Getting active, creative and eating well
  • Using your strengths to make you happier

I enjoyed sharing this course with the other carers. It was good to have something to do that was just focusing what needs carers have. And that they are not just carers, but people too, with feelings and emotions

Read our latest enter and view reports on care homes we have visited in 2024.

Alongside these visits we do lots of work 'behind the scenes', which includes researching, planning, and working in partnership with the Care Quality Commission and Warwickshire County Council to make sure we use your feedback to improve care. Not all feedback will end with a visit but all feedback is used to make a difference.

Keeping well during the winter

Cold weather can make some health problems worse and even lead to serious complications, especially if you are older, or if you have a long-term condition.
