“Having a disabled family member, being a carer, can be very isolating.  A real antidote to that can be coming to a place like this – being creative, sitting with people, and having off-the-cuff conversations. I found out by chance that another lady in the group was a carer for her disabled child, like I am. I’ve never really had an opportunity to have a conversation with someone in that situation, but we talked for a long time, looking at pictures and sharing stories. Suddenly you realise that perhaps you don’t need special circumstances to be able to reach out to people.”
