Our services include welfare benefits and housing advice, raising grants for equipment and respite, signposting to other services, support groups, monthly Health & Relaxation Days, quarterly Making it Happen Days, a Flexible Breaks Fund to provide holidays and breaks for carers, theatre and day trips; a regular newsletter and fact pack.

Islington Carers Centre strives for the positive inclusion of carers, providing a network of support and information; and recognising, valuing and respecting their needs as individuals.
