Advice Information & Advocacy

Carers Lewisham can help and support you to access the benefits and services you and your family may be entitled to. We help carers to complete financial benefit forms; support you at benefit tribunals; family meetings; social services meetings etc.

We provide advice and information on subjects of benefit to carers, for example:

• Financial benefits
• Holidays and getting a break
• Managing the care of your cared for person
• Getting access to services and support

You can talk to us on the phone, by calling our Help-Line number. Alternatively, if you have a complicated problem you would like to discuss, we are also happy to see you in person. Please make an appointment by phoning our Help-Line.

We can see you at a convenient time for you – including evenings. We can also help you by providing an Advocate to help you if you need support to go to a tribunal, case conference, panel etc.

NB There may be a waiting list for some services

We also produce written information leaflets on a range of topics. Please phone up and ask if we have the information you need. If we can’t help we’ll try to find someone who can!

We are open Mondays 9.30-8.30pm
Tuesday and Thursday 9.30-6pm (4.30pm in school holidays)
Wednesday and Friday 9.30-4.30pm
