Family Carers Action Group

The Family Carers Action Group  is a group of family carers of adults with learning disabilities who live in Islington. We meet every two months and welcome new members.

• We support each other in facing the many stresses and strains that family carers encounter
• We provide opportunities for senior managers, elected councillors and other professionals to meet family carers, to hear about our experiences and concerns and to answer our questions
• We elect representatives on to key decision-making groups in Islington
• We provide updates about developments in government policy and local initiatives (e.g. changes to welfare benefits or housing issues) that may affect you and your relative or friend.

Come along and have your say on the big issues facing people with learning disabilities and their families in Islington (such as Housing, Health Care Services, Fulfilling Lives/Activities, Personal Budgets, Staff Training, Social Care Management, Education and Employment).

Please email family@centre404.org.uk if you have any further questions.
