Join us for an afternoon of tea, coffee, cake and dancing to celebrate Carers Rights Day 2026!
Poole North Primary Care Network invites carers and the people they care for to a friendly afternoon of refreshments, music and dancing.
Whether you’re caring for a family member, friend or neighbour, this is a chance to take a break from your usual routine, meet other local carers and enjoy some time together.
Carers and the people they care for, of all ages, are welcome to come along.
What can you expect?
- Tea, coffee and cake: Enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake while spending time with others in a welcoming setting.
- A tea dance: After refreshments, enjoy some music and dancing. Whether you love to dance or would rather sit back and enjoy the atmosphere, everyone is welcome.
- Meet other carers: Connect with people who understand what it’s like to care for someone, share experiences and enjoy a friendly chat.
- Discover local support: Meet Carers Leads, Social Prescribers, BCP Carers Support and Help & Care, who can offer information about services and support available to carers.
Who is this event for?
This event is for anyone who provides unpaid care or support to a family member, friend or neighbour, as well as the people they care for.
Whether you’re new to caring, have been caring for years or don’t usually think of yourself as a carer, you’re welcome to join in.
People of all ages are invited, and you don’t need any dancing experience to enjoy the afternoon.
Why come along?
Caring for someone can be rewarding, but it can also be tiring and sometimes isolating. Finding time to relax, have fun and connect with others isn’t always easy.
This Carers Rights Day event offers an opportunity to enjoy a change of scene, meet friendly faces and find out more about the support available in your local community.
There’s no pressure to dance or share your experiences. You’re welcome to come along, enjoy a cup of tea and take part in whatever feels comfortable for you.
How to attend
The event takes place on Friday 20 November 2026, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, at St Paul’s Church Neighbourhood Centre in Canford Heath, Poole.
Carers and the people they care for are welcome.
