Carers
Strategy
Carers’ Hub Lambeth see the Carers Strategy as a vital opportunity to raise awareness of carers and improve carer support in our borough.
We’re working with the Carers Collaborative Strategy Group to help make the carers strategy a reality.
Background
Our vision is for families and carers in Lambeth to feel recognised, valued and included as equal partners in the support and care for the person they care for. Equally we want families and carers to have full, enjoyable and confident lives in their own right alongside their caring role.
The Lambeth Carers Strategy seeks to improve the quality of life of unpaid carers in our borough. The 2024-29 strategy sets out seven priorities to deliver our vision for how we will support carers in Lambeth:
-
Mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of carers
-
Integrated carers pathway and support offer
-
Equipped workforce
-
Visibility, recognition, identification and awareness of Carers
-
Empowering Carers
-
Carer equity
-
Helping to prevent carers from financial hardship
Making it happen
The 2024-29 Carers Strategy has been developed by Lambeth in partnership with Carers Hub Lambeth, and has been informed by close collaboration and consultation with unpaid carers, the people who support them, the Carers Collaborative Strategy Group, health and care agencies, the local voluntary sector and the wider community. To deliver the strategy's seven priorities, actions and workstreams have been identified for each priority.
