Reading Rethink Carers Group provides help and support to carers of those with mental illness. All members are themselves carers, and can therefore offer help and understanding to those in a similar position.

There are local events for Carers week at Reading Civic Centre and at Prospect Park Hospital. There will be a Carers workshop and pampering fest at Reading Civic Centre on Wednesday, 12th June from 12 noon to 4pm. You can find out about your entitlements as a carer and enjoy chatting to other carers and those involved in care and caring. If you feel you need more help or encouragement as a carer and you can get along to this then this event is for you.

We all know that our physical surroundings have a big effect on how well we feel. Reading Borough Council is consulting on standards and problems of privately rented accommodation. Reading Borough Council has recently got new powers to regulate the conversion of single family houses into multiply occupied dwellings. They are proposing comprehensive planning standards for these conversions with regard to density of conversion, interior space, amenity space outside, light, height, noise, common rooms and many other details.
