About
City Carers Community started in April 2020, as a small collection of City of London (square mile) residents with caring responsibilities. We have since grown.
2025 will be our 5th year of hosting virtual sessions for unpaid carers who are looking after someone in the city or elsewhere. Our sessions are twice a month. We have grown in numbers across the city.
We also support the City of London corporation in Carer strategy, the NHS neighbourhood teams, City & Hackney mental health service and the commission carers organisation to name a few.
In addition from our lived experience as carers and our learnings of NHS & Local authorities processes, we have contributed to other London boroughs carer strategies as well as Nationally.
We do this voluntarily in our spare time.
We would welcome offer of support or expertise
