Enjoy walking? Then join our volunteers On Saturday 6 April 2013 on a sponsored walk of 3, 6 or 10 miles to raise proceeds to support the running of the valuable View Cafe which is a source of respite and meeting place for Family Carers and the local community alike.

On the day, the walk will be co-ordinated and run by all of the cafe's volunteers who will be leading the three distances, registering runners or walkers, serving tea and coffee and baking cakes for the runners and walkers on their return.

A raffle will be be held and you could win a prize!

Entry is £5 and all dog walkers welcome! (under 16's will be able to take part for FREE)

FREE 6 month trial with Suffolk Circle

Suffolk Circle is a membership organisation for people over 50, providing an interesting calendar of social events and a hand at home when you need it.
They understand that being a family carer puts a lot of pressure on you, and you don't always get the chance to keep up with those little jobs at home, or socialise as much as you would like. Suffolk Circle can find local people to give you a hand at home with things like DIY, gardening and technology as well as a social calendar of events that you can dip into as and when time allows, to spend some time enjoying yourself with other people just like you.
They are offering family carers in Suffolk a 6 month free trial membership to give it a go for yourself! So if you haven't registered with us yet, do so, then take full advantage of this superb offer!

Wellbeing courses

Many of us at one time or another will suffer with anxiety, depression and low mood and, as a Family Carer, this situation can be further increased. 

Suffolk Family Carers, in partnership with the Suffolk Wellbeing Service, are running 6 week workshops around the county, to  look at your role and choices as a Family Carer, your self-esteem, levels of anxiety and ways of making some small changes to improve your emotional wellbeing.

If you are a Family Carer aged over 16, are registered with a GP in Suffolk and YOU are feeling ready to change then you can access these courses by emailing us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  or call Louise on 01473 835429
Courses are running constantly in different areas, so do get in touch with us.

Disney's much-loved fairy makes her 3D debut in an amazing adventure that takes her to the forbidden Winter Woods. Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) is helping to guide a group of animals towards the mysterious Winter Woods to hibernate when curiosity gets the better of her. Crossing the border, she finds a beautiful world of frost, ice and snowflakes. She's dragged back before she can freeze, but Tink has noticed that her wings began to sparkle in the Winter Woods. Taking the first opportunity to return, she encounters frost fairy Periwinkle (Lucy Hale) whose wings have also started to sparkle. This means they must be sisters. But by breaking the laws of both worlds, the fairies have thrown the seasons out of balance. Can they put things right and save the great Pixie Dust tree? Tinker Bell's fourth fabulous animated story is her first in stunning 3D .
