Newham Carers' Network

We are part of the Renewal Programme which is a registered charity with over 45 years’ experience working with local projects in Newham.  We are based in Manor Park in East London which has good public transport links.

Newham Carers Network provides advocacy, advice, information and support to carers from the age of 5 upwards in the London Borough of Newham. 

The early identification of carers not known to services, enabling and empowering them to access support is our main priority.  We strive to provide support to all carers to ensure that they receive services they are entitled to as well as being assessed in their own right and that those carers are a part decision-making making process in Newham.

(NCN) has extended its support service to include young carers.

Provides low level emotional and practical support to all unpaid carers who either live in the borough or care for an individual living here.

 Examples of support include:

• Information, advice and guidance on carers rights and available support: (e.g. access to the council's Community Neighbourhood activities, advice with benefit applications, employment and a referral for carers assessment)
• Advocacy for young carers and their families including school liaison 
• An empowerment programme of workshops for all carers (welfare benefits, stress management, Demential Awareness, planning for the future, alternative therapies etc.)
• Carers Emergency plans for the person cared for
• Carers Discount Card:  Newham_Carers_Discount_Card_-_Application_Form_September_2018_.doc
• Individual tailored, time-limited support based on an agreed plan of support towards agreed outcomes.
• Carers forums and Super Support Group
• Enabling carers representatives for Engagement and Co-production with the London Borough of Newham
