Event for Past MND Carers: Craft and Connect

This event is an opportunity to remember the person you cared for while sharing a hands-on creative experience.

While you paint your very own blue cornflower bunch we will have conversations around the themes of healing, grief recovery and ways to maintain good memories. You will reconnect with old friends from MND NSW and meet others who have shared a similar journey.

We invite you to bring along a photo of the person you cared for and to extend this invitation to your friends and family.

Each attendee will receive a craft box which includes all materials and glass vase, no crafting or painting experience required.

Light refreshments will be provided, registration is essential.

Event pilot

With thanks to Ms Sharon Green & her partner Mr Marcel Skjald who provided the funding for this new Care Program initiative, we are running this event as a pilot for possible future rollout.

If you are a past carer from the Central Coast area, we would love for you to help us with this pilot, and we will ask you to complete a short survey after the event.

If this pilot is successful, we will look to roll out the initiative to support past carers from across our service delivery areas.
