Male Carers Group – tide

Every 2nd Thursday of the month a Male Carer Focused Group meets to enable male carers to meet up virtually and discuss topics related to their experiences as carers.

42% of unpaid carers are male but there is a distinct lack of male representation in carers groups. Because support groups can be predominantly female, men often feel they can’t openly share their experiences or get the advice that they need – particularly around topics such as personal care. Tide wants all members to feel they have the space they need to talk and access to support.
