At any given time, there are up to one thousand Family Caring Trust courses being run throughout Britain and Ireland (but few in the summer months). Most are organised by health visitors, but many are run by schools, psychological services, churches and voluntary organisations. Because they are not organised by Family Caring Trust, we do not know where they are being held. So the list of contacts below (under the headings United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland) is quite inadequate. If there do not appear to be courses in your area, we suggest you contact a local health visitor, school, church or family organisation and ask about possibilities (they may like to visit this website in order to take your enquiry further).
