Carewaves and Newsletters

Read all about it! The latest edition of our free biannual magazine is here and available to download now.

The latest issue of Carewaves (the second issue of 2026) is available via this link – Carewaves second issue of 2026 – and it is packed with articles about our services and other sources of support in Hertfordshire, including with Direct Payments and borrowing equipment. It also includes details of our carers’ groups, including some new monthly ones – an online one for dementia carers and a writing for wellbeing group.

There are also articles about:
• Lasting Powers of Attorney – what they are, how to make them and carers’ experiences of acting on behalf of someone who needs support.
• Stories and quotes from carers, along with the experiences of two supporters who took on remarkable challenges: an open water swim and a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.
• Tips on microbreaks – what they are and ideas for ways to recharge when caring.
• Our Carers Rights Day 2026 activities on Thursday 19th November, including a summary of carers’ rights. As part of the day, we are hosting a drop-in Information Event in Ware, bringing together a range of organisations to help carers supporting someone with a mental health condition, particularly during times of crisis, access information and support.
