CARERS' HUB

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.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been reasonable growth in spending since inception
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data

Established: 5 years

Hub?s mission is to improve carers? lives in Lambeth through quality services and community engagement. It incorporated in July 2018 after the closure of Help for Carers in 2018. This project has 3 key elements: A programme of peer support groups combining a mix of online and face to face sessions to enable young carers to connect with others in the same situation. This will also enable Carers' Hub to build on the work developed in their homework club, increasing capacity to reach more young carers in need of targeted academic support. Intensive one to one support with a cohort of young carers who, together with their family, have the highest levels of need. Most of these will be identified through the peer support groups which enable the Project Coordinator to build relationships with young carers and their families, and identify those who require additional support. A programme of awareness raising targeting local organisations with the aim of promoting early identification of young carers and increasing the number of young carers accessing support services.
