Carers Pathways

If you are a looking after a family member, neighbour or friend who couldn’t manage without your support, then you are a carer and we are here to support YOU! We give unpaid carers a regular break by providing interesting and meaningful activities for those they care for. It might be through a 1-2-1 befriender spending time in their home, having a chat or playing cards; or they might go out for a walk or to a coffee shop. Alternatively, we offer a wide range of activities in the community, including gentle exercise, therapeutic and relaxation sessions; a chance to learn a new skill such as IT, English as a second language, sewing or Maths; and social activities such as games, music and dancing. Our activities include specific sessions for people from Asian and Armenian communities or those living with Dementia, Mental Health issues or other physical health conditions. Sessions are held at the Southall Day Centre, Hayashen Centre, Sycamore Lodge in Acton and other venues across Ealing. Some sessions can offer a hot meal and transport to and from the centre. Our sessions are open to anyone with health and care needs who is supported by a carer living in Ealing. So whilst the person you care for is enjoying time with others or taking part in activities, you can get time to yourself outside of caring. And when you return home, you will both feel relaxed and rejuvenated for the coming week. To find out more call us on 020 3137 6194 or email carerspathways@ealingcarers.org.uk
