News for you

Marking Carers’ Rights Day (21st November), we're holding information fairs for Surrey’s unpaid carers. With ACS staff, other charities and local organisations in attendance, carers will be able to ask questions – practical, financial and legal – about their caring role, as well as get general support, advice and information.

We're delighted to announce that we have a new drop-in Hub opening, in Godalming Tue, 1st October 2024 at Godalming Library. This is a drop-in venue. You can ask specific questions you may have about your caring role and the support available and pick up some of our helpful resources. Or, you can simply drop by for a friendly chat and a cup of coffee with other carers, our staff and volunteers.

Unpaid carers are entitled to a free flu jab. As flu season approaches, find out how to access your free vaccination.

We're making a few amends to some of fifteen Carer Hubs which run regularly across Surrey. Please take a look.

We have a stand at this year's PRIDE in Surrey event, at Stoke Park, on Saturday 21st September. Please drop by our stand and say hello, pick up some info, and chat with our lovely team!
