Virtual Health and Wellness Programme

We are launching our Virtual Health & Wellness Programme on 1st June so that Carers of Merton, led by a qualified coach, can support each other to emerge from lockdown as fit and well as we can.

Who we are

Carers Support Merton is an independent charity formed in 1991 by a group of local carers. We exist to support unpaid carers from the age of 5 in Merton to stay well and live a fulfilling life.

Refer an adult carer

If you are working professionally with someone who will benefit from support as a carer, you can refer them to us directly with their consent.

Parents of children who have disabilities and are aged under 18, are welcome to participate in our range of activities for adult carers, as well as any of our groups and social events for which they meet the relevant criteria. Parents of children aged over 18, who are caring for their adult child, also qualify for our full range of services including Carers Assessment.

What is a Young Carer?

We define a 'Young Carer' as anyone aged between 5-17 that is significantly impacted by the diagnosed health condition, disability or substance misuse of a close relative. This means someone they live with or see on a daily basis.

What is a carer?

An unpaid Carer is someone who looks after a friend, family member or neighbour, who due to disability, mental or physical ill health, or an addiction, could not cope without their support.
