    The course did me so much good - I am still feeling calm and relaxed ….. this is probably the best I've felt in years. It's funny how a few days can be so transformative.

    Sarah Churchill - Carer

    What a super course, group and trainers! Really enjoyed your company. Have needed to breathe on my return to reality! Much better option than getting cross!

    Gil Brown - Carer

    I feel a lot more positive about myself and feel better armed to cope with the future demands of being an able carer for my Mandy. I, and Mandy, can only thank you all, and the RSAS, from the bottom of our hearts, for the help and support you all so generously provided.

    David Nixon - Carer

    I thought that the whole group talking sessions were terrific – very useful and very friendly and bonding. Everyone’s questions were interesting.

    Barbara Benedek - Carer

    I was not in a good place when I arrived but, thanks to you all I left feeling uplifted.
