On Friday 12th December our wonderful ‘Heads Up Connect’ group met for their Christmas celebratory lunch at where they had the opportunity to take some time for themselves, relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Heads Up Connect is a carers peer support group that meets on a regular basis to provide friendship and support opportunities.

Bridget Harvey, Service Director said ‘Heads Up Somerset is proud to be able to offer help to carers, as they play such a vital role in holding families together.

Being a carer can be a daunting, isolating experience and if Heads Up Somerset can play even a small part in making carers feel appreciated and supported then I feel our charity is making a positive difference’

Bridget was delighted to gift flowers and wine to Jane and Geoff for their amazing voluntary contributions to the coordination and administration of the Heads Up Connect group.
