SUMMARY:North Berwick Carer Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Our North Berwick Carer Support Group is held on the second Tuesday of every month 10:30 – midday. The group offers a safe space for carers to meet with other carers.

The group offers opportunity for peer support and connections and guest speakers often visit with topics of relevance. \nUntil the end of 2025 the group was held at The Nether Abbey Hotel\, but due to the Nether Abbey being under new management\, we are looking into alternative meeting spaces for the North Berwick Support Group in 2026. Please contact us for further information. We will update this page as soon as a new space has been confirmed. There is normally a £3.70 collection for teas and coffees at each meeting.
