Hallo Careruk forum
I am new. Feeling the pressure a bit and reaching out for other people in same sort of situation. I became a carer at start of lock down to look after my lovely twin brother who has serious mental health issues. But the Covid 19 is creating a lot of isolation.
I live in Devon, love cats and gardening.
Are there any online meetings? Or other type of get to gethers.
With best wishes
Caroline

You may also find that there is/are meet ups through your local Carers support group - just google “Carers Support Group” and the name of your local town.
Dear Ian and Susie who replied. Thank you so much. A great start to the day to have this contact.
I am not techi, but will try to do the online chat.
Ian, what is “herd”?
best wishes

A typo for “here” would make sense.
There’s opportunities to chat on the monthly “Roll Call” topic:-

…or just start your own topic if there’s something that you want to chat about, we don’t have to talk caring all the time.
