Does a friend or family member rely on you for support?
If so, you may be a carer, which means that you can get support to look after the person you care for – and to take care of yourself.
You might be looking after your brother or sister, your partner, your parents, your adult child or someone else; they might have a physical or learning disability, a health condition, mental health needs, misuse drugs or alcohol, or have become older and frail. You might have been looking after them for years, or have only just started.
Whatever the situation, if you and the person you care for are over 18, then Carers Network can help you with:
• Carers Assessments
• Information and advice
• Social events and activities
If you are a carer and live in Kensington & Chelsea, Westminster or Hammersmith & Fulham talk to Carers Network today!
If you need advice or information about anything related to your caring role, do come along to any of the 2 drop-ins and speak to one of our specialist Information, Advice & Guidance workers, who will be happy to help. Please telephone for details.

When illness or disability strike, a lot of people can feel the impact. Suddenly it can seem as though life is on lockdown — whether it's you being cared for, or you're providing care to somebody else.
Our aim is to help unlock doors; opening up the world again so that you can re-connect with others and make choices that enrich your life.
At TuVida, we know that there is no 'one one-size-fits-all' formula for effective care and support. It's our aim to offer the best, most appropriate care and support to people who need it.
We provide one-to-one care and group support for adults and children with a wide variety of needs and conditions, at home and in the community. This also provides unpaid carers with a valuable break.
Our vision is to see a world where every carer can live life with independence, choice and peace of mind.
To help achieve it, we draw on a combined organisational history of more than 150 years offering high quality care and support across England.
