A SUPPORT group for grandparents is inviting new members to join its monthly meetings.

The Durham Grandparents' Support Group was set up to help those who are denied contact with their grandchildren, or are concerned about their welfare and support grandparents who are the primary carers of their grandchildren.

The next meeting of the group will focus on looking after grandparents’ emotional health.

Led by Christine Jameson-Gates the short, interactive session, will look at how people can identify our own ways of enhancing our mental health and wellbeing to cope with life’s stresses and strains.

The group, which is part of the Durham Christian Partnership, holds two-hour meetings on the second Monday of each month at 12.30pm.

The next meeting takes place on Monday, September 14 at St Nicholas Church, Market Place, Durham.
