The City and Hackney ELFT Carers Service is funded by the London Borough of Hackney and is responsible for offering carers assessments and support to any carer of an adult open to ELFT. 

• Sam McGavin: Senior Carers Lead
• Marta Kiermacz: Carer Support Worker
• Nawel Boudri: Carer Support Worker

We were founded in 1996 by a group of carers who were struggling to find support. They came together to create the Carers Centre; a one-stop shop for unpaid carers living in the City of London and Hackney. 

Since then we have grown and now offer a range of needs-led support services that are accessible and appropriate:

• Juna Begum: Advice & Information Office 
• Anne Sudbury: Senior Volunteer Administrator 
• Ben Phillips: Young Adult Carers Service Co-ordinator 
• Hudda Abukar: Advice & Information Officer 
• Jo Brunt: Chief Operations Office

The City & Hackney Recovery Service is a service for residents struggling with alcohol and substance use issues:

• John Buskell: Turning Point, Family, Friends & Carers Recovery Worker

We understand how important it is for unpaid carers to access support. Whether you're after one-to-one advice, are looking to meet other carers or would like to attend one of our workshops, everything we offer is designed to support you in your role:

• Marc Balkham: Carers First Manager

Here at Young Hackney, we recognise the hard work that goes into being a young carer. We are committed to supporting you along the journey whilst helping you enjoy your childhood:
