Virtual Carers Centre
We are excited to announce the launch of a new digital platform designed to support you in your caring role. Bridgit Care offers practical tools, advice, and resources to make life easier and help you access the support you deserve.
Harrow Carers will be delivering a set of training afternoons to assist carers to access and use the platform.
Please keep a watch on our Facebook page and website for these sessions.
Register for specialist advice, information & access to a range of support services.
Once you have registered with us, you will be able to access our services. We will discuss your caring role to understand the areas in which you need support or help. We will offer you specialist, tailored advice and support based on your needs.
This can include activities, training, benefits advice, help in filling out forms, peer support and provide you with helpful information and free resources.
We can also signpost you and the person you care for to relevant specialised sources of support in Harrow.
Help with your health and well-being
Looking after your own needs is so important when you have caring responsibilities.
We run workshops, clubs, counselling sessions, advisory, befriending services, and other activities. We aim to make you feel better. We help you with stress management, mindfulness and well-being to boost your confidence and positivity.
Check out our Carers’ Guide
A guide with tips, advice and support for unpaid carers
As a carer there is lots of help, advice and support available, the problem is knowing where to find the information, this guide will outline your rights as a carer and give you details, information and guide you to where you can get practical help and support in Harrow.
Contingency Plan
A contingency plan is a course of action designed to help in responding effectively to a significant future event or situation that may or may not happen.
Harrow Carers, Harrow Council and Unpaid Carers have developed a contingency plan for carers in the event that they are unable to provide care at short notice. Download your free copy for self-completion or contact us to have one sent to you in person.

We would like to hear from you if you are ready to offer your skills to support our charity.

Please have a look at the specific volunteering and full time roles we are looking for and contact us to register your interest.
