CARERS' HUB

Registered charity 1182120 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register · also known as CARERS HUB LAMBETH

We are an independent local charity based in Brixton. Our work stems from the fact that carers' lives can be negatively impacted in all sorts of ways as a result of their caring role. Whether financial, educational or otherwise, we seek to limit the challenges that carers face in two key ways: by working with carers directly, and by influencing the local services and policies that affect them.
