Find Compassion for Yourself through Creative Writing

May 7, 2026

When you spend your days caring for someone else, it’s easy to lose sight of your own voice.

Finding Compassion for Yourself is a gentle, free creative writing course designed especially for unpaid carers, a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself through words. No writing experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Through simple guided exercises and supportive conversation, you’ll discover how creativity can nurture self-compassion, ease isolation, and help you feel heard again. Alongside others who understand the realities of caring, you’ll have the chance to share stories, laughter, and quiet moments of reflection.

A free taster session takes place on Wednesday 24th June, 12.30–2.30pm at Linden Hall Community Centre, Hampton, followed by a four-week course running throughout July.

Because carers deserve care too.
