Hubs – Action for Carers venues offering information and support

County-wide Hubs for Surrey’s unpaid carers

We have multiple ‘drop-in’ locations, our Hubs, for Surrey’s unpaid carers to visit for advice and support.

At the Hubs you can meet with Action for Carers’ staff and volunteers. You can get information and advice on your caring role and the support available, and also enjoy a cuppa and a chat.

We often have special events and speakers from other organisations at our Hubs too. And Carer Practice Advisors (from Surrey County Council/NHS), whose role is also to ensure carers get all the support they need, also attend many of our Hubs.

There are fifteen ACS Carer Hubs across Surrey. Each is open twice a month, between 10am and 2.30pm. No need to book, just drop in.
