☕ Care for a Cuppa – Black History Month
Join Carers UK on Monday 13 October, 3–4pm for a special Care for a Cuppa session with Matthew McKenzie — author of Race, Caring and Mental Health, carer activist, and Carers UK volunteer.
Have your say on the future of support for mental health carers
South West London & St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust is finalising its new Mental Health Carers Plan (2025–2030) and is inviting carer feedback.
The plan has been co-produced with carers, staff, and partners, and includes commitments to improve communication, peer support, training, and practical help for carers across the Trust. Now, they’d love to hear your views on what’s most important and what might still be missing.
👉 You can get involved in two ways:
✅ Join the Carer Focus Group on Tuesday 30th September, 1.30–3pm
✅ Share your views via the online survey
💷 Payment will be provided for your time.
To take part, please email nazia.choudhury@swlstg.nhs.uk for more details. You’re welcome to contribute through both options if you’d like.
Let’s work together to make sure carers’ voices are at the heart of future services 💙
Update on KCN well-being trips
Due to funding pressures, KCN is sadly unable to host well-being trips from October.
We remain committed to supporting carers’ mental health and wellbeing, and in particular, ensuring carers can access a break from caring. We will therefore continue to fundraise for this vital area of our work. In the meantime, we will maintain our partnerships with Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace and other local providers who are so generous in offering free entry or discounted activities for carers.
Our free counselling service, mental health peer support service, complementary therapies and peer support groups – including our monthly tea and toast sessions - remain available to all carers across the borough.
