Caring for an older relative, friend or neighbour? Come and talk with us.

An older parent. A husband or wife. A neighbour you check in on. If you help an older person — with shopping, appointments, medication, or simply being there — you are a carer. Even if no-one has ever called you one.

To mark Carers Week 2026 (8–14 June), Tower Hamlets Friends & Neighbours is hosting an online conversation for family and informal carers supporting an older person. The session is a chance to meet others in similar circumstances, talk through what you are managing, and find out about the support available locally.

This year’s Carers Week theme is Building Carer Friendly Communities, and we are proud to play our part in Tower Hamlets.
