Islington Carers Hub

Islington Carers Hub Islington Carers Hub provides advice, information and support for people who are looking after a friend or relative.

You may think of yourself as someone’s parent, partner, relative or friend but if you are looking after someone due to long-term illness, disability, a mental health or substance misuse issue, you can also call yourself a carer. According to the 2011 Census, there are around 16,300 people providing unpaid care in Islington. This can range from helping with dressing or eating through to emotional or behavioural support. Caring for someone is part of life for most families and many people find it a rewarding experience. However, we know that caring can also take its toll on people’s physical and emotional health as well as on aspects of their lives such as finances and getting a break. Islington Carers Hub is here to provide advice, information and support to all carers aged 18 or over who live or work in Islington or care for someone living in Islington. We do this either directly or through our work with other organisations. Islington Carers Hub provides the following services:

Advice and Information sessions at a range of venues
Support groups for carers to meet and share ideas
Help with getting the Carers Emergency Card
The Flexible Breaks Fund
A website and information pack about the kinds of help for carers in Islington
A quarterly newsletter called Carers News
Events and activities like Carers Rights Day
Carers Assessments
We chair the Carers’ Pathway Group. These are meeting where carers come together to hear from a range of guest speakers about developments in services and feedback about know how they think services and support can be improved. See the Carers Pathway Group page for more details. Please explore the pages on our website for more information about support for carers including the different services we provide.

💜 It's Carers Week this week (8–14 June)! 💜

Do you know someone who regularly looks after a family member or friend?

They might attend health appointments, help with shopping, cooking or cleaning, provide emotional support, or simply be there at the end of the phone when they're needed. Many people don't realise that this makes them an unpaid carer.

💜 is a great opportunity for carers to meet others, share experiences with one another and learn more about the support available - not just for the person that they're caring for, but for them.

For Carers Week, the Islington Carers Hub is hosting:

🎉 A Carers Celebration
🚶 A Carers Kew Walk
☕ A Coffee Morning with a discussion about carers' rights

If you know someone who is caring for a family member or friend, please let them know about these events taking place this week, 8–14 June.

Please share to help us reach more carers across Islington. 💜

Last month, we hosted a stall with Islington Carers Hub at Whittington Hospital. We were also delighted to put up our brand-new banners in the reception area - helping ensure that carers walking through the hospital know that support is available for them.

We had so many meaningful conversations with carers about their caring roles and shared information about the new way to get connected to support through the NCL Carers Support website.
