Support for unpaid carers in Islington
Are you one of the thousands of people in Islington looking after someone regularly? Perhaps you care for a parent, partner, child, sibling, neighbour or friend?
We're here to support you in your caring role. We work with Islington Carers Hub to provide a range of free online services to support you, in addition to what is already available.
Kick-start with our Email Course
To kick-start your support from us, sign-up to our five-part email course, designed specifically to help carers like you in Islington.
Establish strong foundations to your care or double-check you have the essentials in place.
Connect with other carers
Community and support from other carers is at the heart of what we do. Connect with other carers on our virtual cuppas. Or if that is too big of a step, you're very welcome to join the Mobilise Hub, our free online space for unpaid carers.
Speak to someone
If you struggle to find time to talk to someone about your caring role our Carer Support Team are available from 9am to 10pm, seven-days a week. You’ll speak with another carer about the things that matter to you.
You can also call Islington Carers Hub 0800 085 1141 (FREEPHONE) or 020 7281 3319 between Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm to speak to a member of their staff team.

Mini carers-assessment
Are you thinking about having a carers assessment? But wondering what benefit it will bring?
Take three minutes to tell us some simple information and we'll follow up with an email that includes a simple checklist of things to do next.
Book your free coaching session
Over 31% of carers have told us that taking a break is one of their top priorities.
If you are struggling to focus on yourself or perhaps have a challenge you need help with working through, our certified coach Suzanne is here to help you focus on the whole of you.
In our free four-part coaching sessions, which last 30 minutes, you'll be able to talk through the things that matter to you, at a time that suits you.
Working with a coach is a helpful way of stepping back and finding breathing space to take control of the things that can be changed, and letting go of the things that are not in your control.
"The difference it has made to me is major and I hope to continue to implement the changes to my life in order to be happy and helpful."
But before diving in, meet your Coach, Suzanne.
