WELCOME
TO SUTTON CARERS CENTRE
The aim of our work is to help ensure that no Carer has to reach crisis point before they get the support they need.
Covid-19 (Corona virus)
Sutton Carers Centre is open and, in line with Government guidance, we are delivering our services remotely. We are available should you need information, advice and or support to enable you to Care safely - and to plan care for the person/people you support in the event of you becoming unwell. During the Covid-19 crisis our phone lines and email support is running 7 days a week from 10am-10pm. If you are asked to leave a message we will get back to you as soon as possible. Our services are for Carers of all ages - children and adults.

We also recognise that concerns around COVID-19 affect your caring role. This can affect your mental as well as physical health. We are here to provide emotional as well as practical support.

ARE YOU
A CARER?
A Carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health concern or an addiction, cannot cope without their support.
Anyone could be a Carer – a 15-year-old girl looking after a parent with alcohol dependency, a 40-year-old man caring for his partner who has terminal cancer, or an 80-year-old woman looking after her husband who has Alzheimer’s disease.
-
There are around seven million Carers in the UK – that is one in ten people. This is rising.
-
Three in five people will be Carers at some point in their lives in the UK.
-
Out of the UK’s Carers, 42% of Carers are men and 58% are women.
-
The economic value of the contribution made by Carers in the UK is £132bn a year.
-
By 2030, the number of Carers will increase by 3.4 million (around 60%).
