⏰ The clocks go back one hour tonight but caring doesn’t stop when the clocks do. 💙

Earlier this week, we spent some time at The Toby Henderson Trust for a really productive networking session.

It was a great opportunity to connect with others, share information, and explore ways we can work together to better support carers and families across our communities.

Thank you to everyone who took part and made Jayne and Phil feel so welcome. We’re looking forward to building on these connections. 💚

🎵 Calling all music loving carers 🎵

Have you got a favourite record that takes you straight back to a special time or place?

Our Connected Caring carers music group takes place on Saturday 7 November, from 10am to 12 noon, at Age Concern Tyneside South, Beach Road, in the Community Room on Floor 2.

Come along to enjoy classic vinyl tunes, share memories and spend some time with fellow carers. Music can start conversations, encourage memories to flow and create moments of joy, relaxation and connection.

Get up in the loft, dust off your records and start thinking about the songs you would love to hear. What track would get you singing along?

🎶 Music is the great connector 🎶

On Saturday 7 November between 10am and 12 Noon, we're bringing carers together for a special music group filled with classic vinyl tunes, shared memories and good company.

Music can help memories flow, lift our mood and bring people together. This session offers carers a chance to enjoy some respite, relax with fellow music fans and spend time listening to songs that have stood the test of time.

Now is the perfect time to get up in the loft and dust off those old records. Which songs would you love to hear?
