For 20 years, charity Carers’ Support East Kent has been providing information and support to Carers improving their well-being, reducing isolation and placing Carers at the centre of everything we do.
In 2001, we supported 400 Carers
20 years on, we’re supporting 8,000 + Carers a year.
Most of us will become Carers at some point.
We’ll be here if you need us.
