Celebrating carers in Islington
Carers Week (8 – 14 June), is a chance to highlight the important contribution of unpaid carers in the borough. This year’s theme is around ‘building carer friendly communities.’
In the spirit of building community, why not join us at one this week’s events. You can meet other carers in the borough over a cuppa and find out what support is available.
Carers Celebration and Adult Carers Strategy Update
Join us to find out how the Islington Adults Carers Strategy is progressing, with the input of carers like yourself, since its launch in June 2024. Talk to local support services over lunch and enjoy a fun activity with Nuffield Health to finish the day!
