Being a carer can be isolating; this National Carers Week, we're creating space to connect, create and be heard.

South Coast Arts is running a group songwriting workshop for carers in a safe, welcoming environment.

No musical experience is needed - just a willingness to share and connect.

Through guided storytelling, collaborative lyric writing and live music, carers will work together to create a professionally produced original song.

It's a chance to reflect, connect with others who understand the caring journey, and build lasting relationships within your community.

The workshop includes a shared catered lunch and an intimate live performance by musician Anthony Snape, offering more relaxed time to connect over conversation.

Whether you're new to caring or have been doing it for years, this workshop offers a supportive space to be recognised, valued and connected.
