DOSTI Group during COVID-19 – click here to read more…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOSTI group is targeted at older women from the community who are isolated due to lack of language skills and cultural norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years we have seen the\ngroup grow from strength to strength with young cares accessing DOSTI group.\nMany of them just want some respite time which they get through this programme.\nWhilst the elders are engaging with their peers, young carers get involved in\nother activities such as card making, painting or simply just talking to others\nin same situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through DOSTI group we provide\nhealth sessions delivered by professionals in the community in home languages,\nlanguage development through basic English classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating\nand developing a group that they can call their own; accessing peer support has\ngiven many of the women a new lease of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOSTI\u2019s group runs a drop-in\nsession once a week, providing a safe and trusted environment where women from\nall backgrounds can come and meet like-minded people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOSTI group was setup in 2012 as an informal group, led by volunteers. The group met every week over a cup of tea and biscuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through building trust women\nwill be able to share their concerns and anxieties, accessing support from\ntheir peers in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply sharing their anxieties\nremoves some of their loneliness. Finding out that they are other people with\nsimilar issues, helps to reduce their own anxieties, giving them opportunity to\nmeet like-minded people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
