Attended the Adult Health and Social Care (AHSC) Network meeting Bexley Voluntary Service Council today.

These networks play an important role in bringing local organisations together, sharing knowledge, understanding local priorities and strengthening the partnerships that support our communities.

It was good to see Cllr Janice Ward-Wilson, Crook Log Ward Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health, attending and engaging with organisations across the sector.

Her involvement reflects the importance of strong connections between the Council and community organisations.

For Crossroads SEL it is particularly important that the voices and experiences of unpaid carers and older people remain central to conversations about health, social care and community support.

By working collaboratively, sharing expertise and building relationships across the sector, we can help ensure people receive the right support at the right time, while recognising the vital contribution of unpaid carers.

Strong partnerships make for stronger communities. It was good to be part of the conversation and connect with others committed to improving outcomes for people across Bexley.

We had a table alongside a number of local organisations, sharing information about the support available to unpaid carers and older people living in Bexley.

It was also good to see Austin from SELCE-South East London Community Energy highlighting our new partnership project on energy advice and home safety service for unpaid carers living in Bexley.

A special thank you to Jolanta Linkeviciute, Mary, Irene Reader and Pat for representing the charity today, talking about the different services we provide to unpaid carers & older people.

Yesterday, our colleague Mary represented Crossroads SEL at the Adult Community Services Marketplace at Queen Mary’s Hospital.

It was a great opportunity to meet colleagues from Oxleas, Bexley Adult Social Care and other local services to raise awareness of the support we provide to unpaid carers and older people across our communities.

Building those local connections helps us make sure unpaid carers and families know where to turn for support.

We welcome the decision to appoint a new national champion for unpaid carers, an important opportunity to give unpaid carers the sustained visibility and strategic focus they deserve.

At Crossroads SEL our frontline experience of supporting and working alongside unpaid carers gives us a clear view of both the essential contribution they make to the health and social care system and the pressures they can face in sustaining their caring role.

For us, the value of this appointment will be measured by its ability to translate unpaid carers’ lived and frontline experience into meaningful influence on policy, commissioning and service design.

A strong national voice for unpaid carers should help strengthen partnership across government, health and social care, providers and community organisations, ensuring support is accessible, preventative and responsive to there needs.

You’re looking after someone else. But who’s looking after you?

For many unpaid carers, keeping the home warm, paying energy bills and making ends meet can be another worry on top of everything else.

If you’re an unpaid carer living in Bexley, you don’t have to face it alone.

Through our partnership with SELCE-South East London Community Energy we are providing practical Safer & Warmer Homes support, through advisors which includes:

🏠 Help to make your home warmer and safer
💷 Advice to help reduce energy costs and maximise income
🔥 Support with energy efficiency and fuel poverty
🛡️ Carbon monoxide and home safety advice
📋 Help accessing the Priority Services Register

You spend so much of your time caring for someone else. It’s important that you and your home are cared for too.

If you’re an unpaid carer living in London Borough of Bexley get in touch to find out what support is available.

One of the many ways we make a difference. 💙

At Crossroads SEL we support unpaid carers and older people across Bexley, Greenwich and Lewisham through a range of practical, emotional and community-based services.

One of those services is our Volunteer Befriending Service, helping older people feel less isolated, more connected and valued in their community.

We’re now recruiting Volunteer Befrienders.

A little of your time could mean a lot to someone else, whether that’s a regular visit, a friendly chat, sharing an interest or simply being there.

Real connections. Meaningful relationships. A stronger community.

Interested in becoming a volunteer befriender with us?

Call Lynda for an informal chat .

Great to spend time today in Sevenoaks with leaders and partners from across the South East at the SGN VCMA Partners event.
It was a valuable opportunity to share learning, strengthen relationships and look at how we can work together to better support unpaid carers who may be particularly vulnerable to fuel poverty, rising household costs and home safety risks.

For us,partnership working is more than signposting. It’s about understanding the realities unpaid carers face, connecting the right expertise and making sure support reaches those who may otherwise be missed.

Our partnership with SELCE-South East London Community Energy and other VCMA partners is helping us strengthen that approach for unpaid carers and the people they care for across London Borough of Bexley

Good conversations, shared challenges and, most importantly, a shared commitment to making a practical difference in our communities.

Great to catch up with Jo and Simon from SELCE.

Thanks to Janet, Graeme and Daisy for hosting.
