It’s amazing the difference a day out can make! Our carer events let you focus on your wellbeing and escape from your day-to-day routine.
We offer a variety of in-person and online events. Choose to learn new skills, get the kids involved or simply focus on your mind, body and spirit.
You’ll see some online activities require equipment. But don’t worry, we have you covered. We will deliver any goodies required to complete the activity straight to your front door.
Please note: you’ll need to have a computer or smart device with internet access to join our online classes.
