Mutual Carers Support

Bromley Mencap

The Bromley Well Mutual Carers Service provides specialsist support for people in mutually caring relationships when there is one person ages 55 and over, with a disabled adult son/daughter/sibling living at home. 

The specialist support enables mutual carers to remain living independently in their own homes in the community.

Support includes: 

  • Going with you to medical and professional appointments 
  • Help writing letters and sorting out bills
  • One to one emotional support. We can do this by phone and also in person at your home
  • Help to think about and plan for the future
  • Help with technology such as CareLink, a personal alarm system which helps you remain safely in your own home
  • Help with internet shopping 
  • A chance to meet others in similar situations, have fun and share your experiences . There is a group for older people and another for the disabled 
  • Information workshops on topics like mental wellbeing, keeping healthy in winter, welfare benefits, scams
  • Healthy eating cookery sessions
  • Sessions on skills like budgeting, travelling safely and first aid
  • Free carers newsletter 4 times a year. 
  • Coping with Life as a Carer Course. A free 4 week practical online course.
