Carers UK – support services during the national period of mourning

posted in: News

The Carers UK Helpline is open as usual this week. If you have a question about caring, you can contact our Helpline team by emailing advice@carersuk.org at any time or by calling 0808 808 7777 from Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm.

However, the Helpline will be closed on Monday 19 September for the bank holiday and as a mark of respect for the Queen’s funeral. If you need urgent help, please see our website for organisations that can help you get the support you need out of hours. Our Helpline will re-open on Tuesday 20 September.

We will also be running some of our online meetups for additional support during this time – more information on these is available here and here, but please be mindful that some activities or discussions at this time can trigger strong emotional responses.
