Help 50 Carers Share Skills in our Unique Timebank

For those that have supported this project from the start, and for those that have generously supported us since our last report, we have some fantastic news to share –

we have exceeded our original target of £6,000!

This means that we will be able to begin delivery of our work to expand our successful Carers Timebank project to support 50 more carers from across central London.

We hope to launch this new piece of work in Summer 2017 and have been actively scoping the best way of achieving this. We will also be consulting with local carers ahead of and during Carers Week (12^th June – 16^th June) to ensure that it is successful and meets the needs of those we work so hard to support.

We really do want to thank everyone that has supported this great project and has helped make these plans, that carers have been telling us they would like for so long, become a reality. This has been the first crowdfunding campaign that Carers Network has attempted, with admittedly a little trepidation, so we are delighted that it will result in more carers being able to access the opportunities and support that they need.

Thank you once again for your amazing support for this project. We are confident that it will make a real difference to the lives of local carers. We are still in the early stages of implementation, with us only making our target in the last week, so we’ll make sure to keep you posted with the project’s progress.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for our future work on GlobalGiving, it is our mission to support unpaid carers and change lives across London. This mission continues and we hope that you can help us achieve this.
