Pathways for Carers
Pathways for carers offers those caring for older people, or people with a disability or mental illness an opportunity to share walks together and to learn more about news, services and supports. Stay after the walk for coffee with a guest speaker. Meet on the ground floor of Realm in Ringwood Town Square. We will walk around Ringwood Lake and then return to 'The cave' at Realm library.
Anyone who is a carer is welcome to join us. We have a different guest walker attend each walk who talks about the services and programs their organisation offers carers and the people they care for. The walks are educational as well as offering the chance for some exercise.
The walks are suitable for all fitness levels and no bookings are required.
- When: 1.00pm the fourth Saturday of every month. No walk in January.
- Where: Realm Library, Eastland Shopping Centre, Ringwood.
