Welcome to the Carers Centre Tower Hamlets

Dear Carers

As from the 05 November 2020 in line with the Government’s advice, the Carers Centre will be closed to face to face appointments and the Staff Team will be working remotely from their homes.

We will continue to provide a full range of services via email, telephone and virtually on Zoom. To speak with a member of staff or to refer to our services, call us on 020 7790 1765 or email us at enquiries@ccth.org.uk

We would like you all to remain as safe and keep as well as possible. One way of doing this is by observing the social distancing guidelines, wear a face covering, regularly wash your hands and only leaving your home to undertake necessary tasks (work, care, shopping) and to exercise.

Another way you can take steps to remain safe and support your wellbeing is by joining the Carers Centre zoom activities including, our weekly social club and energising health & wellbeing sessions. To learn more and access these sessions, please email tony@ccth.org.uk to book your place.

Unpaid carers can still access FREE PPE supplies. If you would like to receive PPE, please contact the Carers Centre on 020 7790 1765 or at enquiries@ccth.org.uk

We will reopen as soon as Government advice allows us to do so. Please check out our website and the Carers Action Blog for updates and information.

The Carers Centre Team

You are our kind of carer if you provide regular unpaid and substantial support to someone living in Tower Hamlets. You don’t have to be living in the same household. They could be a family member, a partner, friend or neighbour who can’t manage without you. This could be because of physical illness, frailty, disability, mental ill health or because of alcohol or drugs addiction or misuse.

Anyone can become a carer at any time, at almost any age. As many as 3 in 5 people will be carers at some point in their lives.
