100 Conversations: Carer Edition (Online)
14 October 2026, 7pm - 8.30pm
Online event - FREE but bookings essential
A Carers Week conversation with Sarah Rosse and Author & Carer Sarah Martin
100 Conversations: Carers Edition is a special online conversation created for Carers Week, bringing together author Sarah Rosse and author and carer Sarah Martin for an honest and reflective discussion about the experiences, challenges and often unseen realities of caring.
Through a shared conversation, Sarah and Sarah will explore what happens when caring becomes a significant part of your identity, the moments when carers can lose sight of themselves, and the importance of being seen, heard and supported as a whole person—not just through the role they provide.
Drawing on lived experience, storytelling and reflection, this conversation will explore themes of identity, resilience, mental health, connection and the power of sharing our stories.
This interactive online event will include a conversation between Sarah Rosse and Sarah Martin, followed by an opportunity for audience members to ask questions, share reflections and be part of a wider conversation celebrating the voices and experiences of carers.
Whether you are a carer, someone supporting a carer, or simply wanting to better understand the caring journey, this event offers a space for connection, compassion and meaningful conversation.
100 Conversations: Carers Edition
Two stories. One conversation. Countless reflections. -

Storyweavers Salon: in conversation with Amy Han and Sarah Rosse
Storyweavers Salon is a space for adults who want to explore the ancient art of storytelling — whether you're an experienced writer, someone who has always wanted to write, or simply someone who loves a good story. This session, held during Mental Health Month, centres on the theme of Grief — the things we carry, the stories we tell to make sense of loss and letting go, and what it looks like to move forward without necessarily 'moving on'.
What to expect:
Readings from Sarah Rosse and Amy Han, each sharing a short piece of writing that explores grief in their own way
A guided creative writing exercise (no experience needed)
Time to share and discuss around the theme
Good conversation with a curious, welcoming community
Light snacks and a hot/cold drink of your choice provided
