If you're an unpaid carer supporting someone in Merton, we’re here to help with online help and advice, as well as 1-2-1 practical and emotional support. Remember, you don’t have to wait until crisis point before asking for help - the earlier you ask, the bigger difference it can make.

How we help

We understand how important it is for unpaid carers to access support. Whether you're after 1-2-1 advice, online support, are looking to meet other carers or would like to attend one of our workshops, everything we offer is designed to support you in your role.

Carers First Merton

We recently launched the new Merton National Carers Card, free to any adult or Young Carer that is registered with us, or have had an assessment with Merton social care. Visit the link to find out more about the card and how to apply for one.
