Kingston Adult Education are offering Carers and those who they care for, an exciting opportunity to join us at the King Charles Centre for some innovative adult education courses.
As Carers, you would attend a class to update your knowledge/skills and take a qualification and at the same time, those who you care for would attend a separate class and take part in a variety of activities.
Both classes would be for 2 hours each week (at the same time - in different classrooms) for a total of 11 weeks (date and time to be arranged).
We are trying to gauge the level of interest and what subjects you would be interested in studying. Please complete the following form and we will endeavour to accommodate your request.
Please note: the information you provide will only be accessed by Kingston Adult Education and Kingston Carers Network. The information will only be used to choose which courses and times would be best and to let you know about which Respite and Re-skill courses we then offer."

St Paul’s Players have chosen Kingston Young Carers for their charity this year
- look out for Grease on 28th/29th June!
St Paul's Players are a local amateur dramatics group who
raise money for local charities.
The group has been treading the boards since 1977.
That’s over 40 years of raising thousands of pounds for our chosen charities.
The object of this group is to have fun and enjoy ourselves in order to give our wonderful audiences a good night out, with comedy, fun and laughter due to our serious over/under acting skills!!!! The end result is a great donation for worthy local charities. We value our local community and feel immensely proud to be part of it.
We always welcome people who feel the same as we do.
Friends, families and partners of people living with mental health difficulties go through their own challenges. These four stand-alone sessions offer a safe space to gain confidence, learn in a group about your needs and strengths and learn skills to make the best of life.

Support Group for Parent and Carers of Children and Young People with Additional Needs
As you are aware, Clare Keogh left KCN in November, and we have struggled to find someone to run the two support groups that she was facilitating. We have therefore decided that this support group will be combined with the Support Group for Parents and Carers of Children and Young People with ADHD.
This support group is held on the Second Friday of every Month at the KCN Office and is run by Clare’s colleague Lily Bath.
The next meeting will be held on Friday 8th March from 10.00 – 12.00 at 418 Ewell Road, KT6 7HF
We do hope that you will be able to join us, and look forward to seeing you on the 8th March.
Support Group for Carers of Adults with Asperger's Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder
You will be pleased to know that Mollie Cooke will now be running the Asperger’s/ASD Support Group held here on the first Wednesday of every month.
The next meeting will be on Wednesday 6th March from 10.00am – 12.00 at 418 Ewell Road, KT6 7HF
We apologise that we have not had a meeting since last year, but look forward to seeing you at the next group.
We are looking for Volunteers to facilitate all of our Support Groups.
