We meet weekly on zoom and aim to provide a safe space for our members to come together and support one another as well as exploring some of the traits of our diagnosis, work out some coping strategies for ourselves and increase our knowledge about what we are experiencing, which in turn will help us to live our lives in a better way.

We are run by carers, with carers, for carers of adults with mental health problems. Our aims are to: • Support and inform each other – through monthly groups, a phone line, informal advocacy and financial help – so that we know we are not alone • Help each other develop the knowledge skills and confidence to do the best we can for our loved one with mental health problems • Provide information about training, helpful local agencies and rights • Work with carers to strengthen their voice as experts by experience so that the limited resources available to mental health and social care are put to the best possible use • Engage constructively with NHS and local authority commissioners and the NHS Provider Trust Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), to improve services – injecting where necessary a sense of urgency and an element of challenge
