What's on in Southend this March...
|
|
|
The Southend Carers Hub is a partnership of specialist local charities who have joined together to create a one-stop-shop for carers.
Commissioned by Adult Social Care (Southend Borough Council), we believe that by working together, we can make it much easier for Carers in Southend-on-Sea to access the right practical, financial and emotional support.
