Zoom meeting on Support for Carers in Abingdon - Wed 13 April
There are about 5000 unpaid carers in
Abingdon and these save the UK
economy around £96 million a year yet many receive little support. However,
there are a number organisations in Oxfordshire
that provide a range of help in Abingdon. We are bringing some of these
together to talk to us about what help they provide. This will be
followed by questions and discussion. Find
the details here.

Abingdon
We asked students at Oxford Brookes University

in order to improve your health and wellbeing. The first is a general
video with singing and the second relates
to diabetes.

Thank you to our various funders.
We are very grateful for the funding we
have from Doris Field Charitable Trust who provided our
initial funding. Then Oxford
Health Charity provided us basic funding for two years.
We have also had funding from Christ's Hospital of Abingdon
for Thames Boat trips for people with dementia and their carers. Recent
funding is from Doris Field and the Cumber Family
Charitable Trusts. We also thank Penlon for
sponsoring Abingdon Healthfest 2021 which is also supported by Abingdon
