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.
