Repaying the Kindness sets out to nurture and
support carers who live in the community and who are themselves so kind
to others.
Who we are
Repaying the
Kindness is Jamyang's nonreligious sister organisation, and is
registered as a charity under the name 'Courthouse Community Centre'. We
receive funding from the London Borough of Southwark, The City Bridge
Trust and Triangle Trust to offer our service to Lambeth and Southwark
Carers.
Based at Jamyang, our small team is supported
by a growing body of volunteer helpers.
We aspire to:
* offer carers respite in a day.
* provide life-enhancing experiences for
carers in a day
* support carers in ways that strengthen
their sense
of wellbeing and help to reduce stress levels through a range of
activities
Our programme offers:
* respite in a day free from caring
responsibilities, for adult carers living locally
* an opportunity to experience
activities such as
Tai Chi, crafts, music & relaxation techniques, to socialise or
to
sit quietly and just be, in the peaceful, supportive environment of The
Old Courthouse
* seasonal outings to places of beauty
and interest in the locality
* delicious and healthy vegetarian food
