Our next Dad’s Space is meeting on Wednesday 20th may at 10am ☕

This is a relaxed, social and informal meet‑up where dads (including grandads, stepdads and kinship carers) supporting a child aged 0–16 with additional support needs can come together for a brew.

It’s a chance to chat, share experiences and enjoy some time out with others who really ‘get it’.

The group is facilitated by cowl staff and volunteers who are dads and parent carers themselves.

Dad’s space runs monthly:
📅 when: 3rd Wednesday of each month
⏰ time: 10.00–11.30
📍 where: the chain runner, Livingston

Why not come along, you’ll be very welcome.

Three months into our newest clinic of bookable local support appointments and we are thrilled that it has been so successful. We have been fortunate to be fully booked each month since it started and are glad to be able to offer local support to the West Calder community.

Thank you to West Calder Community HUB for hosting us on the third Monday of each month.

If you live in West Calder or the surrounding areas and would like to speak with a member of the CoWL support team about anything relating to your caring role or disability, then book in to a 30-minute appointment on our website https://cowl.org.uk/appointments

For many unpaid carers and disabled adults, daily life can be full of responsibilities, routines and challenges that can make it easy to forget your own needs. One simple way to support your mental wellbeing is to plan something you can genuinely look forward to. It doesn’t need to be big; a quiet hour to rest, a favourite activity, time with someone who lifts your spirits or a small treat just for you.

Having something positive on the horizon can make a real difference to how you feel day to day. You deserve time that’s just for you.

Here at CoWL, we offer a range of opportunities to help you build something positive into your routine. Whether it’s using our community passes, joining one of our social activities or booking into one of our wellbeing sessions, there are plenty of ways to give yourself something to look forward to.
