Collaborative Session Ideas for Carers to Promote Awareness Days

Here are some warm, engaging, and practical ways Wirral Carers Alliance will help Carers can come together to mark awareness days while building community and visibility:

1. Story & Experience Sharing Circles

  • Hosting informal online or in-person gathering where Carers share personal stories, challenges, and uplifting moments.

  • Producing short video clips or quotes (with consent) to share during the awareness day.

  • Including a creative element inspired by caring experiences.

2. Skills & Wellbeing Workshops

  • Partnering with local health professionals organisations to run mini-sessions on stress relief, mindfulness, or health screening and wellbeing education.

  • Offering a “swap shop” of tips — Carers exchange practical hacks for daily challenges.

  • Group photo or message to post in support of the awareness campaign to share involvement.

3. Creative Collaboration Projects

  • Creating a collaborative project representing the caring journey.

  • Developing short awareness video's featuring Carers’ voices and lived experience.

  • Organising themed events, exhibitions and Carers Conference. 

Transforming Support for Carers

Focus groups have played a crucial role in improving the lives of Carers by providing them with the necessary support and resources.

They have also contributed to the development of strategies that prioritise the needs of Carers and ensure they are not forgotten or overlooked.

The development of Carer focus sessions is crucial for supporting caring roles, especially in the context of the increasing number of Older Carers in the UK.

These sessions aim to build on the good work happening across the sector and offer tools to support professionals in identifying and working with Older Carers more effectively.
Older Carers, those aged 65 and over, make up more than a third of the UK’s Carer population. They are more likely to provide intensive support and are at higher risk of ill health, including back pain, fatigue, hypertension, anxiety, and depression.


Developing specific resources to support practitioners is crucial in understanding what matters to Older Carers, helping them to support carers more effectively.

These resources aim to reduce loneliness, promote wellbeing, and reduce the risk of ill health associated with caring.
By focusing on the specific needs of Older Carers, practitioners can help them feel seen, heard, and supported, ultimately improving their wellbeing and the quality of care provided.
