Home / Surveys / Family Carer Online Support Group Survey Would you like to meet and chat with other family carers? Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.We have all heard the old adage “a problem shared is a problem halved”, but it’s not just problems we like to share with each other. Its human nature to chat. Suffolk Family Carers are keen to get more family carers chatting, sharing their tips for caring, talking about their holidays, helping others get over challenging periods and much more. There really is no limit to what we like to talk about and hear. Although we have our own ideas on how this could work, we would really like to hear from you about what would make you want to meet with other family carers, relax and chat. To help us with this we have prepared a short feedback questionnaire which we are hoping you can spare approximately 2 minutes to complete. This will guide our thoughts and help ensure we are working together to ensure unpaid family carers are visible, valued, supported and connected. In return for your feedback we will offer you an opportunity to enter our prize draw for a chance to win a £25 Sainsbury’s voucher, should you wish to do so.
