Support for Carers
We recognise the importance of carers and the challenge that carers face on a daily basis, whether that be giving unpaid care to someone who is over the age of 18, caring for your own child with additional needs/disabilities, or caring for a vulnerable family member. Support is available through Gravesham Borough Council’s partnership with Kent and Medway Safeguarding Adults Board (KMSAB) Information and Support for Carers and also at Kent Support for Carers.
