Mums Day at Galgorm Resort and Spa promotes self-care

We hosted a Mums Day at Galgorm Resort and Spa on Sunday 18 November.

With the Thermal Village promising the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate it didn’t disappoint.

Everyone got a chance to enjoy the hot tubs, Jacuzzi, snow cabin as well as a self care treatment.

Great enjoyment and everyone had amazing sleeps on Sunday night after all the relaxation and self-care!

We know life as a carer can sometimes be challenging, but is always rewarding. We know parents, carers and siblings should be able to access practical support and that's why we are enhancing our services to support more carers like you.

Our Family Support Service offers parents, carers and siblings practical support including free confidential counselling using trained professionals.

From our new centre at Lilac House (Linked Independent Living and Advice Centre) carers can access a range of practical support including training and signposting.
