Welcome to the Carers Centre Tower Hamlets
Who Cares?
Is there someone in your life who depends on the care you give them?
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.
Who cares?
If this sounds like you, you are probably an unpaid carer and we care.
Register as a carer with The Carers Centre Tower Hamlets to access support and services at The Carers Centre and beyond
Take the first three steps to the help you need
- register with us at The Carers Centre if you haven’t done this already
- complete a Carer’s Assessment with us. This establishes your needs as a Carer
- then if more support is necessary we can refer you to Adult Social Care for a Support Plan – a gateway to more help
We find that no two caring roles and no two carers are the same. Carers Centre Tower Hamlets personalises our support to you. We help you to have a life outside of caring. We enable you to keep on caring if that is what you want. We help you stop caring if that is what you need.
