Online Support Groups

If it’s not easy for you to leave your house and you have internet access, you can seek support from other carers on Carers Lewisham Facebook support groups or The Princess Royal Trust for Carers chat rooms.

Carers Lewisham Facebook Support Groups

Our groups provide a safe environment where cares can exchange experiences and seek support when needed. The groups are closed and moderated so only carers registered with us can participate, and all inappropriate posts are deleted. You also need to be registered on Facebook to be able to participate. All posts within the group are private and will not show on your wall. There are training sessions available for carers on Facebook and Twitter, have a look at our Events page or the latest newsletter for updated dates.
