Through our partnership with NHS Gloucestershire, Jacky Martel, our community hubs manager and Keith Sexton, our local Peer Navigator work to ensure carers and Trust colleagues have access to information and practical guidance about social care law and carer’s rights.

Our Community Hubs exist to make social care law and rights real for communities, especially for people who face the biggest barriers to getting support. Through outreach, training, casework, and partnership working, the Croydon Hub supports residents, carers and frontline professionals, and uses what we learn to influence better practice across the system. 

Last week we enjoyed meeting people who draw on social care, who are supported by Croydon Mencap.  

We also welcomed James Mackie from the Casey Commission who was given the opportunity to meet people who are supported through social care and have direct experience of the current system.
