SUMMARY:In person and online events 24/27 Nov - Helping someone regula
 rly?
DESCRIPTION:Many Golden lane residents help to look after a neighbour,
  spouse, family member or friend who needs your support. The person ma
 y have eg a short-term or long-term health condition, disability, frai
 lty, substance misuse or a mental health condition.   Did you know ite
 ms such as picking up shopping, being a listening ear, picking up pres
 criptions, taking a person to appointments, helping with meals/ paperw
 ork etc all come under the banner of being a \"carer\". In 2014 the go
 vernment passed the Care Act, in which you have certain rights that lo
 cal councils, businesses and our City Corporation needs to meet.   Mos
 t residents think of a carer as a paid carer worker in a blue uniform.
  Without realising, the term carer is for those who are caregiving not
  paid to do so.   CoL has a contract with City Connections (since 2019
 ) to meet the needs of City residents/City workers who also have a car
 ing responsibility.  Here at City Carers Community, a resident group, 
 we started in April 2020 to highlight the needs of caregivers/unpaid c
 arers in the City of London to ask if the needs are being met with ade
 quate support. Similar to if we lived a mile away in our neighbouring 
 boroughs.   24th November is National Carers Rights Day. https://www.c
 arersuk.org/news-and-campa ... rights-day  The following events have b
 een compiled by City Connections. I noticed they weren't in the recent
  the Golden estate newsletter, therefore I am sharing it here. We, Cit
 y Carers Community, will also be hosting two Zooms Thursday 24th & Sun
 day 27th at 7.30 pm Open to all to join.    Here is what's going on Op
