Carers Information Directory

Our Carers Information Directory has been designed to provide carers in Tower Hamlets with information, advice and support on important topics including money, carers benefits, financial guidance, health & wellbeing.

Carers Support Advocates

Carers’ experiences and opinions should count. The person you look after often depends on this. Sometimes we can need support to get our voices properly heard.

As a carer, it’s not always easy to stand up for your own rights or for those of the person you love and look after. You may not be comfortable contacting professionals or official agencies or challenging decisions made by professionals. You know in your heart a decision is not right for the person you care for?

Our Carers Support Advocates have the knowledge and the experience to speak up for you or to help you to speak up for yourself. Together we make sure nothing you want to say is forgotten, missed or ignored.
