Carers Connections

Do you look after a relative, friend or neighbour who would struggle without your help? If so, you are a Carer.

A Carers service delivered by the Carers Centre, Tower Hamlets in partnership with the City of London Corporation.

The Carers Centre, Tower Hamlets has over 24 years of experience providing support, advice, and respite activities to Carers. We want all carers to live fulfilling lives by being supported, informed and connected. Through our Carers Connections service we will offer all carers:

• Benefits check and income maximisation
• 1:1 support and advocacy to enable you to access your rights and entitlements
• A fortnightly Carers Group, (online and in person) so you can meet other carers and learn about new services from our monthly guest speakers from various care related organisations.
• Signposting and referrals to services that can provide specialist support such as housing, legal advice, mental health and benefits advice.
• Monthly wellbeing activities are currently running, to support carers physical and mental wellbeing, get in contact to find out more!
