Our mission is to improve health and social care provision and outcomes for people in Hackney by working to ensure that treatment and care is provided with respect and dignity, valuing diversity, encouraging participation and working together.

CITY & HACKNEY CARERS CENTRE

City and Hackney Carers Centre supports the unmet practical, emotional and social needs of carers.

An unpaid carer is someone of any age who, without payment, provides care and support to a partner, friend, relative or neighbour who could not manage without their help. This may be due to a physical or learning disability, a mental health condition, long term illness, frailty, addiction or substance misuse.

SOCIAL PRESCRIBING SERVICES

There are many things that impact our health and wellbeing, including feeling isolated or struggling with practical challenges. We have Social Prescribers in our practice who can speak with adults registered with the practice. They will ask you about what is happening in your life, what you enjoy, and what is getting in the way. The Social Prescriber might suggest services and activities that might help you or simply work with you to build your skills and confidence. They can tell you about community based services, e.g. lunch clubs, gardening groups, benefits advice, exercise groups. 

Please ask your GP to refer you to social prescribing.
