Croydon Council's recent decision to change care providers has resulted in the impending closure of the Croydon Carer Support Service, ending a longstanding partnership with the John Whitgift Foundation. This service has helped almost 10,000 local carers since its 2013 opening, providing essential resources such as advice, bereavement support, and a social cafe. Despite the council's confirmation of the closure, public outcry and petitions have emerged in a bid to keep the drop-in centre operational. The new care provider, Carers First, will take over services beginning April 1, raising concerns about the continuity of support for the community.
Despite the decision to switch care providers, strong support persists for maintaining the Croydon Carer Support Service drop-in centre, which serves nearly 10,000 carers.
The Croydon Carer Support Service's closure has led to a petition, reflecting the community's determination to sustain vital support offered by the John Whitgift Foundation drop-in centre.
