🚨 A red Heat-Health Alert is in effect in London. For the older, isolated and unwell people many of us support, this level of heat carries real risk — dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and the worsening of existing heart, lung, kidney and other conditions.

🔥General hot weather advice:

💦 Drink plenty of fluids; go easy on alcohol and sugary drinks
🕶 Wear SPF50, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses outdoors
☀ Stay out of direct sun between 11am and 3pm
🪟Close blinds and curtains on sunny windows by day
🌙 Open windows when it's cooler outside, such as at night
🌡 Use a fan only below 35°C, not aimed straight at the body
- Never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle
- Check in on at-risk neighbours, friends and relatives

What to look out for - heat exhaustion:

- Tiredness, dizziness, headache, feeling sick; heavy sweating with pale, clammy skin; cramps; fast breathing or heartbeat; intense thirst.
- Move them somewhere cool, get fluids in, cool the skin. They should improve within 30 minutes.
🚨 Call 999 — signs of heatstroke (a medical emergency)

We were delighted to launch this film this week, as part of

As part of our commitment to tackling the health inequalities faced by unpaid carers, we created this film to reach those who have not yet recognised themselves as carers.

By sharing it in GP surgeries across the borough, we hope people will see their own experiences reflected, realise they are not alone, and feel encouraged to register with us, as a carer.

Our aim is to support carers early, before they reach crisis point, so that they can access the help, advice and wellbeing services that they deserve.

We're here to support carers across the borough. See link in comments for more information on how the Carers Centre can support unpaid carers.

Did you know?

People across north east London are now able to text 07860 009642 to reach NHS 111’s mental health crisis support service.

A member of the NHS 111, Option 2 team will respond as soon as they can. They will provide psychological support and signpost to services that can offer mental health support.

This service is available for anyone who would rather text than call. For many people, words may be too difficult to say out loud, or they may not want to be overheard making a confidential phone call.

You can also find details of crisis cafés and walk-in mental health support in North East London and the City of London by visiting:

This week (11-17 May) is Mental Health Awareness Week.

It is intended to encourage people to talk openly about mental health, reduce stigma, and promote practical ways to support emotional wellbeing.

This year’s Mental Health Week’s theme is very pertinent to carers because it encourages people to ‘Take Action: for yourself, for someone else, for all of us, encouraging each one of us to take meaningful steps—big or small—to support mental health in our own lives and within our communities.

Our local division of Mind Charity in Tower Hamlets, Newham and Redbridge will be holding an event on Wednesday 13th May to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
