A message from our Chair
Reflecting on the past year at Carers, Hub, I continue to be impressed by our team's
ongoing passion, commitment and tenacity towards ensuring we effectively meet the
needs of unpaid carers in our borough. Although we are still a relatrvely young
charity, we have now reached 3.500 carers since we launched which is an InC￿dible
achievement and a contribution to our local community that we can be proud of.
We continue to be a place where carers can turn to, for advice. support, peer to peer
connections and often fun acts'vities. Organisational highlights for this year include
the opportunty to branch into new setvice areas and reach more carers. We have
conducted a SUC￿ssful pilot supporting carers of all-ages who a￿ impacted by
substance misuse. We have also embarked on a new partnership to support carers,
when the person they care for is being discharged from hospitsl, called the Carers
Hospital Discharge Partnership. These are specialist services offering vitsl
opportunities to reach carers, who might otherwise miss out on essential support.
This year, carers in our borough continue to face many challenges. The enduring
cost of living crisis continues to be extremely difficult, wth many of the carers and
families we work with struggling to make ends meet. Our team has worked incredibly
hard to secure grants, additional funding and to build new partnerships to help carers
through this time of great financial insecurity. As an organisation we have witnessed
both an increased demand in terms of the number of carers who need our support
and a demand for more 1..1 support due to the complexity of cases caused by a lack
of support for carers from statutory services.
As a community organisation. like many others like us, we have a vitsl role to play in
our borough but we are also impacted by increased demand alongside rising running
costs and fecruitment challenges caused by the high cost of living in London.
Despite the challenging times, we continue to be inspired every day by our work with
carers. We have a fantasts'c network of partners. funders and local relationships that
support us. We also have a committed, knO￿edgeabIe and hardworking Board of
Trustees and team who continue to work tirelessly to ensure we navigate these
trails, and continue to grow and develop our organisation. Thank you to all of you.

About Carers, Hub
Our mission is to improve carers, lives in Lambeth through quality
services and community engagement.
Carers. Hub Lambeth 15 an independent local charity based in Brixton. Our work
stems from the fact carers often go about their roles despite the toll it might take on
their own wellbeing, often having to make sacrifitss that hamper their own ability to
lead a normal life. Whether financial, educational or otherwise, we seek to limit the
challenges that carers face. We achieve this through four core work streams..
raising awareness of carers,
2. influencing local policy through community engagement activities,
3. improving carer wellbeing, and
4. connecting carers to each other and support and training opportunities
through our services.
Since we set up as an independent charity in July 2018, we have reached over 3,500
carers across all ages

Carers. Hub Lambeth has four key objectives:
Improve Carers, Wellbeing
Caring for a loved one, family member, friend or neighbour,
can have a significant impact on all aspects of a carers own
life. Through peer support groups and one-topone,,
appointments, our dedicated and passionate team work with
carers aged 5 and up to help overcome challenges around
managing at home, finances, caring with confidence,
education and employment, physical health and emotional
wellbeing.
,, Increase Connections
There is a lot of support on offer in Lambeth, but these things ..
Can be difficult to find. We're here to fill those gaps. We i
provide infomiation on training courses, local services
and help carers build connections wth each other and their
commLFnity. We help professionals to connect too through
our Carers Collaborative Network.
Raise Awareness
We believe caring is everybody's business. We work hard to
raise awareness through outreach in the ￿Mmunity, GP
practitss and local hospitals, presentations to schools and
social work teams, through partnership working and our
involvement the Lambeth Carers, Strategy.
Influence
We believe that the development of local policy, practice and
services that affect carers should take carers, experiences
into aGGount. For this reason, we host a range of workshops
and forums for carers to make their vol￿S heard throughout
the year. Our Carers, Strategy Development Manager plays
a key role in the development and delivery of the Lambeth
Carers, Strategy.

Our Core Services & Key Achievements
Young Carers & Young Adult Carers
A young carer is a child or young person under the age of 18 who
helps look after a family member or friend, who has an illness or
condition. This might be a physical illness- mental illness,. learning
disability., or some form of drug or alcohol problem. A young adult
carer is a young person aged 16-25.
Our young carers team works with children from the age of 5
upwards, offering support and information to young carers and their
families. Adventure. friendship and support are super-important for young carers, so
we split our work into 4 areas=
We organise a mixture of exciting activities throughout the year.
We provide a listening ear and relevant help to young carers and their
families.
We run monthly young carers groups- a Spa￿ to relax and have fun.
We wn dedicated projects working with schools to support young carers with
their education

school. I got to try new things and have tonnes of funlJY
Young carp.r
Our Young Adult Carers servi￿ works with Young Adult Carers aged 15-21.
Providing tailored 1-2-1 support, working together to address the issues most

attendances at our events and activities. We also connected young carers, young

ststutory young carers assessments for the borough, undertaken by a dedicated
Referrals & Assessments Officer. We offer home visits and assessments with young
carers and their families, exploring the needs of the young person and their family.

Young Carers Grants (Short-breaks)
In May 2022, Lambeth Council and the South East London ICS jointly funded Carers,
Hub to pilot the provision of Short-Breaks grants to young carers aged bets￿een five
and ￿enty-one. Followng completion of this successful pilot, funding was continued
in 2023-24 which enabled Carers, Hub to award 69 young carers grants in this
period. The grants help young carers access activities and events offered by Carers,
Hub and by wider organisations, which benefited the young carers, mental health
and wellbeing. Young carers used their grants for a number of different activities,
such as accessing after school classes (drama, music. gymnastics. swimming,
ballet)- going on trips (theme parks, the theatre and zoo). purchasing gym
memberships or a personal item of their choice.
"The grant made a whole lot of difference. It meant the children were able to
have more freedom and independence and time away from their caring role
and take part in activities they wouldn't nornially do. They were able fo spend
more quality time together as a family on their holiday. The children enjoyed
and appreciated il so muchl"

impacts of caring on young carers, education.

young carers aged 11 to 16, running online on
Mondays and an in-person on Tuesdays. The clubs

their homework in a supportive environment outside
classroom and away from their caring
responsibilities.
Over 2023-24, 59 young carers attended the
Homework Club, wtth 266 attendances in total. We
held 46 sessions of the Homework Club, a mix of online and face to fa￿ sessions to
ensure our offer was accessible. The Club is facilitated by a Homework Club
Coordinator, who helped to connect young carers to external support via 7 referrals
and 21 signposts.
Funded via the Walcot Foundation, we offer 1 to 1 support and peer support
sessions for Secondary School aged young carers. The project initially focussed on
working closely with 6 target secondary schools to identify young carers and offer
space for our worker to meet young carers in school on a 1 to 1 basis and in school
peer support. We are now in year 1 of a follow-up project which has been opened
up to young carers across the community offering a monthly peer support session
based outside of the school setting, in school groups and aC￿sS to 1 to 1 suprort
