Introduction to map of London boroughs

Carers Centre

This is a good starting point for local carers information and services, including respite(taking a break), group support and activity, and worker support. Most Carers Centres are run by, or linked to the Princess Royal Trust for Carers(PRTC)

Council/Social Services:

Local Councils most usually provide ‘Social care’ support services for people in the community – which can include a Care Coordinator (a single named person responsible for coordinating the person’s care).

• The Carers entry is the point found on the website most relevant for friends-and-family carers in mental-health
• The Out-of-hours entry is the point found most relevant to contact them in an emergency outside weekday working hours
• The Main entry is the front ‘Home-page’ of the Council’s website

MH / Foundation Trust:

The Mental Health/Foundation Trust is usually the largest local provider of specialist mental-health services

• The Carers entry is the point found on the website most relevant for friends-and-family carers in mental-health

Help / Information Points

There may be a local help or information line. The level of information, and hours of availability, vary greatly
