It can be difficult for carers and those who look after someone to get the support they need during normal working hours because of their role or commitments. That's why Portsmouth City Council is opening a new café for carers on Saturday 26th April 2014 at the Carers Centre, 117 Orchard Road, Southsea, PO4 0AD.
Café Escape will be open on Saturdays, initially from 10am until 2pm so why not pop in for a coffee. The café will provide a welcome retreat for carers, somewhere they can relax, chat with other carers and get the support and advice they need.
For more information, please contact the Carers Centre on 023 9285 1864.
