SUMMARY:A Play\, A Pie and A Pint
DESCRIPTION:Play: Contact \nRunning from 20th – 23rd Oct 2026  \n1pm\n \nPaisley Town Hall \nA play? A pie? And a pint? What more can a person wish for? \nCo-presented with Traverse Theatre and OneRen\, written by Jonny Donahoe & directed by Ben Standish\, this is a tragicomedy exploring the toxic relationship between a mother and her adult son. A son turns up at his mother’s house. It’s the first time in months that they have seen each other. She remarks that he’s put on weight. He tells her that he is going to be a father\, but he also has an ultimatum: fix their relationship or he will not speak to her ever again. Contact is a new play exploring generational conflict and why so many choose ‘no contact’ over reconciliation.

SUMMARY:Male Carers Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Our Male Carers Support Group is well attended and open to men in the Renfrewshire area who are in a caring role.

There is often a lot of laughter and light hearted humour on display at these meetings\, but they are also an opportunity for the Male Carers to talk about their caring roles\, as well as receive advice and support. \nOur group can also enjoy a few social outings throughout the year. \nThis group runs on the last Thursday of every month from 12.30pm – 2.30pm in the Renfrewshire Carers Centre.

SUMMARY:Brain Injury Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Quarriers Brain Injury Community Support provides support for adults living within the Renfrewshire area who have an acquired or traumatic brain injury. Additionally\, we provide empathetic support to carers to address emotional needs\, as well as practical coping strategies to manage daily responsibilities. \nSupporting a family member with a brain injury can be life-changing\, bringing about confusion and long-term challenges for carers. \nThe service aims to provide comprehensive support strategies to help carers navigate these difficulties. This includes offering a listening ear and empathetic support to address emotional needs\, as well as practical coping strategies to manage daily responsibilities. \nBy providing these resources\, the service ensures that carers are not alone in their journey and have the tools and support needed to care for their loved ones effectively. \nWe are working in partnership with Renfrewshire Carers Centre to provide information\, advice and support to unpaid carers throughout Renfrewshire. \nOur close working links enable us to refer into Renfrewshire Carers Centre ensuring wraparound support. Every month\, we will facilitate a group specifically for carers of those with a brain injury. This group will be an outlet to gain some more understanding about brain injury\, the effects on the individual and those around them. We will promote peer support and an opportunity to share experiences. The group will be inclusive and driven by those with a lived experience of caring for someone with a brain injury. \nThe group will meet on the last Friday of each month from 1.00- 3.00pm at Renfrewshire Carers Centre. The first meeting is on 31 October 2025. If you would like to attend the meeting\, please email enquiries@renfrewshirecarers.org.uk or telephone 0141 887 3643.
