Support to carers from NHS Islington.

NHS Islington is trialling a scheme to provide carers with a break from caring. The scheme is called the NHS Islington Carers Breaks Fund, and the fund is held and managed by the Islington Carers Centre.

More information on this fund can be found on the NHS Islington carer's page. Please follow the link on the right for more information.
