About us
Who we are
City and Hackney Carers Centre have been operating in Hackney and the City of London for 23 years. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for unpaid carers and those they care for. We do this through a range of services aimed at meeting the social, emotional and practical needs of carers. We are a flexible and friendly organisation with a passion for what we do. Everyday we do all we can to support carers.
City and Hackney Carers Centre works to support the unmet practical, emotional and social needs of carers.
An unpaid carer is someone of any age who, without payment, provides care and support to a partner, friend, relative or neighbour who could not manage without their help. This may be due to a physical or learning disability, a mental health condition, long term illness, frailty, addiction or substance misuse.
We are looking to recruit paid staff and volunteers who are passionate about improving the health and social welfare of carers across the borough. Check out our current vacancies or send us an email for more information on our services and potential volunteer opportunities.
Our culture and values

OUR MISSION

OUR VISION
A society in which caring is visible, valued and respected.
WHY WE ARE NEEDED
Every day 6,000 people in the UK become carers, looking after a loved one who is older, disabled or ill. Many do not know how or where to get help. Becoming a carer can happen slowly or time, or for some it's sudden.
Caring for most is simply part of life and being human. Carers are often there holding together families and enabling loved ones to have full lives. Carers make an enormous contribution to society and social care. In fact they save the UK economy billions of pounds each year!
Caring will affect us all at some point and that is why we are here, to support the 18,000 people in Hackney and the City of London who are looking after someone each day. Caring can be extremely complicated to navigate and it is our hope that we can make their journey just a little bit easier.
