At Pendleside Hospice, we provide a variety of different services for carers to help manage and address the physical and emotional challenges of caring for a loved one.
Carers, who live in Burnley and Pendle, can access different carers groups which offer invaluable peer support, friendship and wellbeing sessions. Carers can also access our Family Support service for pre-bereavement counselling and Complementary Therapy to improve sleep, reduce stress and anxiety and enhance a sense of wellbeing.
