Carers Rights Day, 24 November 2023

November/December 2023

Newham Carers Community (NCC) service is a vital initiative aimed at supporting unpaid caregivers in the London Borough of Newham. The service provides a range of comprehensive services for unpaid carers, including information, advice, emotional support and access to social and community services.

For Carers Rights Day this year, Newham Carers Community (NCC) will be hosting two carers rights training sessions online delivered from ‘Not a Care in the World’ which will highlight carers rights and how to use them, and a Carers Rights in-person workshop to help carers know the entitlements around benefits and services they can access as a career.

Online sessions will be held this Thursday 23rd November at 11am and 2pm, and in-person workshops this Friday 24th November 2023 at 11am and 1pm. Please share with residents who would benefit from this service.

For more information, they can call NCC on 020 3954 3143 or email [email protected]. A referral form for the service can be found here: https://www.newham.gov.uk/health-adult-social-care/carer-1.
