Support Groups for Carers
New helpline service for carers Carers needing advice and information can now contact the new Hackney carers helpline. The service is staffed by people who can advise on a range of issues including services available to carers, carers assessments and how to apply for the Hackney Carers Card and Carers Retreat Breaks.

Caring for someone can be very isolating and support groups can help -
- cope with caring responsibilities
- meet other Carers in similar situations
- alleviate some of the isolation felt by carers
The groups allow carers to seek practical and emotional support and up-to-date information from a member of our team.
Carers are welcome to pop along to any of the group meet
ings, where refreshments are available in comfortable surroundings.
