Non-urgent advice: Dorchester Carers Nook - November Session Cancelled
We regret to inform you that November’s Dorchester Carers’ Nook session has been cancelled due to staff shortages. We understand that this may be disappointing, and we sincerely thank you for your understanding and continued support.
There will be a planned break in December, allowing our team to prepare and plan for the upcoming sessions. We are excited to announce that Dorchester Carers’ Nook will return in January with a fresh set of focus days, offering new opportunities, activities, and support tailored to our carers’ needs.
Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for updates and the January schedule. We look forward to welcoming you back in the new year!

Update on Monthly Community Hub Drop-ins in Dorchester
Mid Dorset Primary Care Network (PCN) would like to let our community know about some important changes to the monthly Community Hub drop-ins.
Unfortunately, the drop-ins previously held on the 4th Wednesday of every month will no longer be taking place. Due to staffing challenges, it has not been sustainable to continue running these sessions in their current format.
However, support for local residents is still available:
-
Weekly Wellbeing Drop-in at Dorchester Library
Thanks to The Lantern Trust, a new weekly wellbeing drop-in will be available at Dorchester Library every Monday from 10am–1pm, starting 15th September. This will provide a regular space for people to access wellbeing support and advice. -
Dorchester Carers Nook
For unpaid carers, the Dorchester Carers Nook will continue as usual on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. More information can be found here: Dorchester Carers Nook.
We’d like to thank everyone who has attended and supported the Community Hub drop-ins, and we encourage you to make use of the new and ongoing services available in Dorchester.
