Support For Carers

Al-Anon Family Groups provide support to anyone whose life is, or has been, affected by someone else’s drinking, regardless of whether that person is still drinking or not. For some of our members, the wounds still run deep, even if their loved one may no longer be a part of their lives or has died.

Providing support for people with Dementia and their carers.

We meet once a week to talk, listen, let off steam but most of all to support each other.

Company of Makers exists to support ex-Service personnel and their partners with transitioning from military to civilian life, no matter how long it’s been since they left the Armed Forces.

The Portsmouth Personal Assistant (PA) Noticeboard is a free service that lists PAs looking for work and Individual Employers looking for PAs to support them at home and in the community.

We welcome all those with a neurological condition to our groups, please call for a chat on 07510752536 or email us at portsmouth@mssociety.org.uk or even better come along to our next seated yoga class
The Portsmouth and District Multiple Sclerosis Society provides a much loved and valued service for the community. 

We now run a chair yoga group on a Wednesday morning from 11am to 12 noon at Fratton Community Centre. With several of us staying on for coffee or lunch after the session at the Community Centre's very reasonable cafe.

We run another seated yoga exercise group from 10.30 - 12noon on Mondays in the Community Room at Tesco Extra, Fratton Way, Portsmouth apart from the last Monday in the month which is a coffee morning from 10am - 12 noon. All welcome - family, friends, carers.

The team is based at the Carers Centre. We start with a conversation to understand your situation and help you to work out what type of support might help. Carers often find it useful to get information and advice, support to have a break or just to have a listening ear.

Rebound Group is a confidential, empathetic support group, caring about carers.

We offer support and assistance in both group and one-to-one counselling settings, as needed.

The service is provided free of charge to carers and family members affected by a loved ones' drugs, alcohol and substance misuse and their associated mental health problems.

The group is run by members who have attended the group for many years. They are all suitably qualified, having accredited Working Therapeutically with Addiction certificates. They are also able to help because of their first hand experience - they have a family member in addiction themselves.
