Local support and activities groups in the Newforest

What activities are there organised in the Newforest ? What support groups are there in the area for you and your family ?

Here at Bluebird Care New Forest , we realise that our elderly community is becoming more and isolated, However, the area is well-resourced with some amazing support and activities groups , where your beloved could go for lunches , or activities.

It is a good way to try to engage with the wider community. Our health care teams can help your beloved to get ready in the morning and to go to these events or even accompany them.

Or when you are the main carer for your beloved, it can be draining and you need some support as well.
