The 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 afternoon tea with a guest speaker.
Anyone who is a carer of someone with a disability, mental health illness or older person 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.
Pathways for Carers meet on the fourth Saturday of every month, from 1pm until 3pm.
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 for afternoon tea and a guest speaker.
