Joanna Brunt's Company Details
City and Hackney Carers Centre supports the unmet practical, emotional and social needs of unpaid carers in Hackney. Our vision is a society in which caring is visible, valued and respected; our mission is to make life better for carers in Hackney though education, awareness-raising, peer support and wellbeing activities. We are needed because, every day, 6000 people in the UK become carers, looking after a loved one who is older, disabled or ill. Many do not know how or where to get help. Carers are often there holding together families and enabling loved ones to have full lives. Carers make an enormous contribution to society and social care, saving the UK economy billions of pounds each year.Caring will affect us all at some point and that is why we're here: to support the 18,000 people in Hackney who are looking after someone each day. Caring can be extremely complicated to navigate and it is our hope that we can make the carer's journey just a little easier.
