We have dedicated Carer Support Coordinators who work with Young Adult Carers.
Volunteers
Our team of dedicated volunteers help us to provide a range of support and infomation for Carers.
Mental Health
We have dedicated Carer Support Coordinators who work with Carers looking after someone living with a mental health condition.
Our trustees
The Board of Trustees are the people who have overall control of Carers’ Support East Kent and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. Trustees use their skills and experience to support the charity, helping it to achieve its aims. They lead the charity and decide how it is run.
Our volunteers
Without our amazing team of volunteers (many of whom also have experience as Carers), we would not be able to provide most of our services. From running drop-ins, support groups, training courses, social activities and much more.
