Aims & Objectives

The programme is designed to strengthen the confidence, wellbeing and capability of unpaid carers across South West London (SWL) and North West London (NWL). Its objectives include:

​

• Increasing carer confidence in supporting relatives at home with improved self‑management and prevention skills

• Promoting carers' wellbeing, developing confidence and competence in their caring role

• Strengthening relationships with local Carer Centres, improving signposting into the SWL & NWL Health & Social Care provision

• Reducing avoidable ambulance call‑outs and hospital admissions (e.g. medication errors, infections, falls, carer stress/relationship breakdown)

• Increasing awareness, engagement and membership of Carer Centres

• Expanding support networks and community connections to reduce isolation

• Supporting carers to develop skills that can facilitate access to paid employment

• Reaching carers who are not yet connected to support

​
