This summer The Othona West Dorset Community are hosting a summer break for carers and those they care for.
From Thursday 9th July to Monday 13th July, the Othona community located on the Dorset coast is offering a bespoke break for carers to enjoy along with the person they are caring for.
“Othona is an open and inclusive Christian community, drawing on a wealth of other inspirations too…we aim to offer welcome and acceptance for all, with simple accommodation and good food at affordable rates.”
A break with Othona provides “a safe space and a group of other people in a similar situation to enjoy a break together in community…. Othona offers a warm welcome, beautiful grounds and homecooked meals, often with home grown produce. This will be a chance to relax together with options for short walks, arts and crafts, maybe singing together and sessions with a carer support worker.”
To find out more about Othona and the event, please visit Othona West Dorset
If you are keen to join this break or would like to find out more, please talk with Othona directly, by email initially to bookings@othonawestdorset.org.uk
Notes:
- Grants may be available to help fund attendance. Please contact us after you have spoken with Othona. Othona says, “Our charges cover accommodation and all meals. You will have a choice of charge rates, so as to suit your circumstances; in an unequal society this helps keep Othona affordable to more people.”
- Open to carers coming alone or with person you care for (both must be adult).
- Please contact Othona directly with any enquiries.
(We want to make carers aware of offers such as this, but this does not mean we are recommending or endorsing any organisations or offers.)
