Description

At the Carers Information Service, we offer information, advice and support to carers in Croydon.

A carer looks after a friend, family member or neighbour who needs their help due to illness, disability or old age.

We run the Carers Support Centre, the one stop shop for carers in Croydon. Carers are welcome to drop in to our friendly centre Monday to Friday, 10am-4pm. Come and find us at 24 George Street, Croydon CR0 1PB.

Our service is part of John Whitgift Foundation and receives funding from Croydon Council.
