The Men’s Carers Group was started in December 2019 at The South Hill Centre, Hemel Hempstead. We started the group as we had identified that while approximately 40% of carers in the county are male, male carers were underrepresented in using our services including attending Carer Support Group Hubs. We decided to set up a group led by a volunteer to address this need.
The pandemic meant that the group was unable to meet. We re-started the group on Zoom in September 2020 and since then it has been well attended and the carers who have come along have found meeting with other male carers helpful.
I would like to ask you to spend 5 minutes answering the questions below so that we can decide whether to continue the group on zoom or to move back to face to face meetings next year.
