Merton Special Educational Needs Information, Advice and Support Service (MIASS)Carers First Merton
Carers First was established in Tonbridge in 1991, by carers who wanted to help others in a similar situation. Today, Carers First works with thousands of unpaid carers, providing practical information and support; making it easier for them to continue living their lives to the fullest.
We also actively work with other organisations to offer direct support to carers and to provide an opportunity for carers to help shape national conversations and influence policy change.
