We’ll be meeting on Wednesday 11th June from 6 – 7.45pm at Manchester Carers Centre. We have not invited a speaker so the session will be a relaxed affair to give us a chance to catch up with one another and discuss any issues we might have individually.

Getting to Manchester Carers Centre


If you are travelling by public transport, Manchester Carers Centre is a two minute walk from the New Islington Metrolink stop (Droylsden Line). Some of us meet at Piccadilly Station by the taxi rank at 5.30 and head up together. Text Lindsey on 07757 082 976 so we know to wait for you. If you are travelling by car, free parking is available on Pollard Street from 6pm.
