Carers deserve to be identified, valued and celebrated for what they do and it is our purpose to support them.
A carer is someone of any age who provides unpaid support to family or friends who could not manage without this help. We provide independent information, support and advocacy to over 3,600 adult carers and nearly 800 young carers in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
We are funded to support
- carers living in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
- people caring for someone who lives in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
- carers who are registered with a GP in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
If this is you, and you need some support, please complete our online referral form.
