We are having a party!

It will be KCN’s 25^th Birthday party and Kate Dudley, our CEO, will also be stepping down after almost 10 years in post.

We are celebrating on Thursday 26^th September at the Kingsgate Church, 161a Clarence Street, Kingston, KT1 1QT from 7.00pm until 11.00pm.

There will be food, drinks, singing and a disco and we are hoping as many of you will join us to celebrate our 25^th anniversary but also to thank Kate for the wonderful work she has done for KCN. Even if you can only pop in for a quick nibble and a drink – please do as we would love to see you

Please let Vanessa know if you will be coming so we can make sure we have enough food and drink for everyone.

Wow, what a busy time we are having! Our Young Carers Project offers young people between aged 5 and 18 information, advice, support and a break from caring in a safe and positive environment outside of the home. If you, or someone you know, might be a young carer visit our Young Carers Zone for more information.

Carers Week (10th - 14th June) was a huge success here at KCN, packed full of events and activities. In fact, we had so much going on we had to start a week early to fit it it all in!

Events included: Summer Party, Royal Albert Hall Songbook, Hampton Court Palace, Cream Tea at Mayfield Lavender Farm, and Working for Carers Talk.

We hope that all carers who attended had a fantastic time.

See https://www.kingstoncarers.org.uk/adult-carers/social-activities/ for details of upcoming events. 

Kingston Carers’ Network is supporting over 3,000 adult carers and over 700 young carers through a wide range of services.
