Courses
In 2019/20 we started a new initiative — short courses. We've now trialed a few of these with great success, so we expect to run some further courses. Watch the Bulletins for further details on new courses being proposed. Details for current courses are on the Groups listing page here.
Monthly Meetings, Speakers Programme
Our physical Monthly Meetings have been suspended due to Covid-19 but instead we have created a programme of speakers who will present to us online using Zoom. How long the programme will run like this will depend on the unwinding rate of lockdown.
New feature: if you want to come early for a chat with fellow members you can join the meeting at 9.30. You will then be placed in a 'breakout room' with a few other members just so you can say hello. We hope this might fill a gap caused previously by moving our physical Monthly Meetings online.
The main Talk will start at 10.00am and run to 11.00 — see the details below. It's suggested you log in and join the meeting at least five minutes before the scheduled start time. There will only be the one topic, the main speaker. The Zoom invitation to these meetings will be sent to all members in the Bulletin.

End of Life Planning
In 2019/20 we started a tie-up with Gentle Dusk regarding End of Life Planning. They have held a number of 'Death Cafés' for our members and a webinar on how to create a care plan. If you don't feel you need to attend a Café or aren't ready for this stage yet, then you may find the guide we've created to help explain some of the terms. Read it here: End of Life Planning. Or if you want some supporting information on creating a care plan then look at myCMC. Another useful link here to Future Planning.
Gentle Dusk in partnership with Age UK Islington are hosting another online event. This one is on "Lasting Power of Attorney & Future Planning". Thursday 26 November 16:00 to 17:00hrs via Zoom. A flyer with further details for the event and registration details can be read here. Whilst it is connected to Carers Rights attendees do not need to be carers to attend the event.
