Carers' Hub supports unpaid carers from the age of 5 upwards who live or care for someone in Lambeth. We are endlessly impressed by the young and adult carers we are lucky enough to work with - who care so tirelessly and committedly for their loved ones. To us, they are the true heroes in Lambeth.

However, 2023 has been a particularly hard year for many of the unpaid carers and families we work with, and we are worried about what this Winter may bring. The mounting pressures of the cost of living crisis on already stretched finances has meant many carers are struggling to pay for even basic food and essentials, or to cover their household bills.

Caring itself often comes with a financial toll - with many carers needing to cut their hours at work, take lower-paid roles, or give up work altogether to ensure they can look after their loved ones. The pre-existing financial strain of caring has been made worse by the relentless impact of the soaring cost of living.

Many of our carers and families are coming to us in a financial crisis - and we need your help to ensure we can increase the support available.

Help us to offer cost of living vouchers to cover food, essentials and winter clothing, and to further our essential support for carers. Our dedicated team is working hard to support young and adult carers to address the challenges caring can bring - whether that is by helping to apply for grants, supporting carers improve their own wellbeing, reducing stress, navigating the maze of health and social care support, addressing problems at school, or connecting carers to financial support. We are here for carers - whatever the challenge they face, however big or small.

By donating, you can help us further this essential work and ensure more of Lambeth's true heroes are supported this Winter.
