About Us
Barnet Carers has been supporting carers across the borough for over 30 years. We are a small, dedicated, local charity that is here to serve and support Barnet’s thousands of unpaid, informal carers. If you are a carer, come and see how we might be able to support you.
Our approach is centred on you as the carer. We are here to support and encourage your strengths. Our aim is to support young and adult carers by delivering services entailing practical support, information and advice, personal improvement, mental health and wellbeing.
